Structure & Formations
The 24-hour 5-minute OHLCV data shows a complex consolidation pattern with multiple swing highs and lows. A bearish 5-minute doji formed near $3.05 at 03:30 ET, followed by a bullish engulfing candle at 20:30 ET as price pushed back above $3.10. The market appears to be testing a key resistance area around $3.12–$3.13, with a prior support level at $3.05–$3.06 showing resilience on pullbacks.
Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period MA (around $3.075–$3.08) and the 50-period MA (around $3.08–$3.09) crossed twice, indicating shifting momentum. The 50-period MA acted as a dynamic support for much of the session, particularly between 16:00 and 18:00 ET, before price broke above the 50 MA toward the close. The daily chart suggests the price is trading above the 100- and 200-period MAs, supporting a longer-term bullish bias.
MACD & RSI
The MACD line showed a bearish crossover early in the session but remained flat for most of the day, consistent with range trading. The RSI fluctuated between 40 and 60, failing to break above 60 for much of the session, which suggests weak bullish momentum. However, a sharp increase in the RSI to 58 at 16:30 ET coincided with the price break above $3.12, indicating renewed short-term momentum.

Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands started in a narrow contraction phase at the beginning of the session, suggesting low volatility. Volatility expanded significantly after 16:00 ET, with the price closing near the upper band at $3.13. This suggests increasing buying pressure toward the end of the 24-hour period.
Volume & Turnover
Volume remained relatively low until 16:00 ET, when a sharp increase occurred in line with the price breakout above $3.12. The highest volume spike occurred during the 16:15–16:30 ET rally, with over $200,000 of turnover. This volume confirms the strength of the breakout and increases the likelihood of follow-through.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci to the most recent 5-minute swing from $3.05 to $3.141 shows that the current price is near the 78.6% retracement level, suggesting a potential area of resistance. On a larger scale, the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level for the daily move from $3.0 to $3.14 aligns with the $3.11–$3.12 range, reinforcing the importance of this zone.
Over the next 24 hours, MOVRUSDT could test key resistance at $3.14–$3.15 if the current momentum persists, but a pullback to $3.08–$3.10 is possible if buying pressure wanes. Traders should remain cautious of potential volatility spikes or news-driven moves, which could disrupt the current consolidation pattern.
