The price failed to form a bearish engulfing pattern during the early 18:00–19:00 ET pullback, suggesting buyers intervened.
Moving Averages and Momentum
The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart remained in close alignment, indicating no strong directional bias at the start of the session.
By the end of the 24-hour window, the price closed above both, suggesting possible short-term bullish momentum. The RSI rose to 58, avoiding overbought territory, while the MACD crossed into positive territory during the late-night rally, indicating growing buying pressure.
Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded significantly during the 23:30–00:00 ET window as the price approached 0.0604, moving near the upper Bollinger Band. This was followed by a brief contraction, indicating potential exhaustion. The price closed near the upper band, suggesting a period of higher-than-average volatility.
Volume and Turnover
Volume spiked at 20:15 ET and again at 23:30 ET, with the largest notional turnover occurring at 20:15 ET, when 1.37 million units were traded. Price and turnover were aligned during these periods, confirming strength. A divergence between volume and price was observed briefly in the 21:15–21:30 ET timeframe, suggesting a potential short-term pause in bullish momentum.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci retracements to the 5-minute swing from 0.0586 to 0.0604, key levels at 0.0593 (38.2%) and 0.0598 (61.8%) acted as price anchors. The final candle closed near the 0.0603 level, slightly above the 61.8% retracement, suggesting buyers are testing higher resistance.
The market appears to have formed a short-term base between 0.0593 and 0.0598, with renewed buying pressure pushing toward 0.0604. Traders may see a potential test of 0.0605 in the next 24 hours, but a failure to hold above 0.0595 could bring near-term profit-taking. Investors should watch for any divergence in volume and momentum indicators as potential early signals of trend fatigue.
