The price struggled to remain above 0.214 and eventually broke below the key support level at 0.212. A doji appeared around 22:30 ET, suggesting indecision before the sharp sell-off.

Moving Averages and Momentum

On the 5-minute chart, price closed below its 20-period and 50-period moving averages, reinforcing the bearish sentiment. The 50-period MA on the daily chart appears to be a strong resistance level. The MACD turned negative with a bearish crossover, confirming the loss in bullish momentum. RSI has dipped into oversold territory, hinting at a potential short-term rebound.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility tightened before the sharp drop, with price falling below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a significant bearish move. The contraction before the break suggests a breakout may be imminent, either to the upside or downside.

Volume and Turnover

Volume surged during the price breakdown around 19:00 ET and again in the final hours of the session. High volume during the sell-off confirms bearish conviction, while turnover expanded in line with volume, suggesting no major divergence.

Looking ahead, a test of 0.210 could be a short-term target, with a potential bounce expected if RSI holds above 30. However, traders should remain cautious as bearish momentum remains intact, and a breakdown below 0.210 may trigger further downside risk.
