The pair traded within a range of $7.89e-06 to $8.16e-06, with a total volume of 44,851.6 and turnover of $3.58 (estimated based on volume and average price).

Structure & Formations

Price tested the $8.14e-06 resistance level twice in the late afternoon and evening hours before failing to break through. A key bearish engulfing pattern formed at the close of the session on the 5-minute chart, suggesting short-term bearish momentum.

Additionally, a possible doji formed in the early morning hours near $7.95e-06, signaling indecision among traders.

Moving Averages

On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are converging around $7.95e-06, indicating short-term equilibrium. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period and 200-period moving averages show a bearish bias, with price still below both.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line crossed below the signal line in the final hour of trading, reinforcing bearish momentum. RSI declined from overbought levels above 60 to mid-range levels below 40, suggesting a potential short-term oversold condition may be forming. A bearish divergence between RSI and price emerged in the last 30 minutes, adding to the bearish outlook.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility has been narrowing throughout the session, with the Bollinger Bands contracting significantly. Price closed near the lower band, and the contraction may soon give way to a breakout in either direction.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked sharply at 01:45 ET with a large trade of 44,339.4 units, pushing price up to $8.01e-06. However, volume quickly retreated, and the final 90 minutes of the session saw nearly no trading activity, with multiple zero-volume 5-minute candles. This weak volume at key price levels raises questions about the strength of the recent decline.

Fibonacci Retracements

The most recent 5-minute swing from $8.16e-06 to $7.89e-06 shows a potential 61.8% retracement at $7.99e-06, which may serve as a key level to watch for a potential bounce or breakdown.

Over the next 24 hours, RLCBTC appears to be consolidating within a tight range after a sharp decline from over $8.14e-06. A test of the $7.95e-06 support level could trigger further volatility. Investors should remain cautious as the recent volume contraction and bearish technical signals may indicate heightened downside risk in the near term.
