Key support levels at 453.8 and 452.2 have held multiple times, with 451.9 acting as a baseline.
Moving Averages

MACD & RSI
The 5-minute MACD line showed a bearish crossover near the 458.1 high, with momentum slowing as price retraced to 453.8. RSI remained within neutral territory, fluctuating between 40 and 60, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions. A minor bearish divergence appeared as price made lower lows while RSI held higher levels after the 458.1 swing.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility remained constrained for much of the session, with Bollinger Bands narrowing around mid-454.3. A breakout occurred temporarily after the 455.4 candle, but failed to carry price beyond the upper band. The final close at 452.2 places the price in the lower half of the bands, suggesting potential for further consolidation or a test of key support.
Volume & Turnover
Volume remained muted for most of the 24-hour period, with spikes near key price levels, such as at 458.1 and 455.4. The highest single-candle turnover was observed at 455.4, with a volume of 110.32. Price and volume generally aligned, with no major divergences detected, except for a bearish signal at 458.1 where volume surged but price failed to follow through.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci levels derived from the 451.9 to 458.1 swing identified 453.8 (38.2%) and 455.3 (61.8%) as key pivots. Price found resistance at 455.3 and retested 453.8 multiple times, failing to break decisively above either level. A 78.6% retracement at 456.7 has yet to be tested, but appears as a potential overhead hurdle if a rally occurs.
The market appears to be in a consolidation phase, with buyers defending 452.2 and sellers targeting 453.8–455.3. Over the next 24 hours, a break below 452.2 may test deeper support at 451.9, while a sustained move above 455.3 could rekindle bullish momentum. Investors should monitor for volume confirmation or divergence at key levels.
