Structure & Formations
Price action showed a sharp breakdown below key support at $0.196, confirmed by a bearish engulfing pattern at the $0.195 level. A second wave of selling followed into the $0.186 level, forming a potential base in the $0.185–0.186 range. The 20-period low is now at $0.1835, with a minor support forming at $0.185.
Moving Averages
Short-term momentum appears bearish, with the 15-minute 20-period MA under the 50-period MA, indicating a potential continuation of the decline. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA may act as a dynamic resistance if the price attempts a recovery.
MACD & RSI
The MACD turned negative and remained bearish through the period, confirming the downward drift. RSI is now in oversold territory (around 28–30), which may signal a short-term bounce. However, RSI divergence with price suggests caution—momentum appears to be accelerating lower rather than stabilizing.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded significantly during the sell-off into the $0.186 range, with price trading near the lower band for several hours. A contraction in
width is now emerging, suggesting potential for a break after consolidation.
Volume & Turnover
Volume surged during the breakdown below $0.196 and again at the $0.186 level, validating the move. However, turnover during the consolidation phase was weaker, hinting at potential exhaustion in the bearish wave. A divergence between volume and price near the $0.185 level may signal a near-term bottom.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fib levels from the $0.196–0.2003 swing suggest a 61.8% retracement at $0.1925, which now acts as a critical near-term support. Price is currently near the 78.6% level ($0.186), with further bearish moves potentially targeting $0.183–0.184.
Mina appears to be in a short-term bearish phase, with key support levels under test. While a rebound near $0.185 could offer a tactical entry, a break below $0.184 may open the door to further downside into $0.182. Investors should remain cautious of increased volatility if volume picks up again near key Fib levels.
