Structure & Formations
Price action showed a strong bearish reversal pattern early in the session, with a large bearish engulfing candle forming at 00:15 ET as the price gapped down from 1.1274 to 1.0958. This signaled a potential shift in sentiment. Later, a sequence of lower highs and lower lows suggested bearish control, with key support levels at 1.0611–1.0652 being tested multiple times. A doji formed near 1.0632 at 04:45 ET, hinting at indecision and potential short-term consolidation.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, price closed below both the 20-period and 50-period SMAs, confirming a short-term bearish bias. The 20 SMA was at ~1.067, and the 50 SMA at ~1.070. On the daily chart, the 50-period SMA sits near 1.090, while the 200 SMA is closer to 1.115, indicating a larger bearish divergence.
MACD & RSI
The MACD turned negative at 00:30 ET and remained bearish for the rest of the session, with the histogram shrinking slightly in the final hours, suggesting weakening bearish momentum. RSI dropped to 35 by 08:15 ET, entering oversold territory briefly, but failed to produce a strong rebound. A bearish divergence was observed between the RSI and price, with RSI failing to make new lows as price continued to drop.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded early in the session, with the bands widening after the sharp selloff. Price then moved into a narrower range in the afternoon and evening, staying near the lower band most of the time, indicating a bearish bias and low volatility. A contraction in the bands was seen from 08:00 ET onward, suggesting potential for a breakout or continuation.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked to over 252,000 at 01:15 ET and again to 261,000 at 13:45 ET, coinciding with sharp price declines. However, turnover did not rise in line with volume during these moves, suggesting lower conviction in the sell-off. The final 15-minute candle showed relatively low volume and turnover, indicating waning interest or a potential pause in the bearish momentum.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci to the early 15-minute move from 1.1274 to 1.0706, price found support at the 61.8% level (~1.090) before continuing lower. The 38.2% level (~1.107) was also tested but failed to hold. On the daily chart, the 50% retracement level from a recent swing high is near 1.095, which has acted as a minor resistance and support level in recent sessions.
NEXPACE appears to be in a short-term bearish trend, with key support levels holding firm and momentum indicators confirming the downward bias. While a brief rebound may be possible in the near term, especially if volume picks up, the risk of further consolidation or a test of 1.060 remains. Investors should monitor the 1.0652–1.0685 range for signs of reversal or continuation.
