Bollinger Bands
Volatility remained suppressed, with price action clustering near the middle band for the majority of the session. A minor expansion occurred around 22:45 ET as the price broke above the upper band before quickly retreating.
Volume & Turnover
Volume was highest during the 18:45–19:15 ET and 05:15–06:15 ET periods, coinciding with price peaks and retests of key levels. Turnover increased alongside price movement, supporting the legitimacy of the swings but not confirming a breakout.
Fibonacci Retracements
The 0.618 retracement level at 1.73e-6 provided initial support during the afternoon decline. A minor 0.382 retracement at 1.74e-6 was also tested but failed to hold.
Looking ahead, a sustained close above 1.75e-6 could validate the breakout and target the next resistance at 1.76e-6. However, given the mixed momentum and indecisive patterns, traders should remain cautious of a potential pullback toward 1.69e-6 in the next 24 hours.
