• Volume spiked late in the session as price dropped sharply to 4.13e-06.

Metal DAO/Bitcoin (MTLBTC) opened at 4.3e-06 on January 18 at 12:00 ET, reaching a high of 4.31e-06 and a low of 4.13e-06, before closing at 4.13e-06 on January 19 at 12:00 ET. Total 24-hour volume was 47,500.5 units, with a notional turnover of approximately 0.196 BTC-equivalent.

The 5-minute chart shows a steady bearish bias, with price failing to hold above 4.28e-06 after a failed rally attempt. The 20- and 50-period moving averages were both bearishly aligned, with the 50SMA acting as a ceiling. MACD turned negative, confirming weakening momentum, while RSI dipped into oversold territory, hinting at a potential short-term rebound.
Bollinger Bands showed a tightening pattern prior to the break at 4.13e-06, indicating a period of consolidation before a directional move. Volume surged during the breakdown candle, confirming the bearish move. However, no strong bullish reversal patterns emerged, suggesting exhaustion on the downside could lead to a temporary pause or pullback.
Fibonacci retracements from the 4.31e-06 high to the 4.13e-06 low show 4.22e-06 as a potential near-term support zone.
Looking ahead, traders may watch for a test of that level and signs of buying interest. A retest of 4.13e-06 could deepen the bearish bias, but oversold RSI conditions suggest caution before assuming further downside is guaranteed.
