Structure & Formations
Price broke down decisively from a prior 0.3813–0.3930 consolidation pattern, with a large-volume 5-minute candle at 12:00 ET pushing it to 0.3938. Key support is forming around 0.3744–0.3802, with the 0.3854 level having previously acted as a pivot. A bearish engulfing pattern is visible near the 0.3906–0.3925 range, suggesting a potential continuation of downward pressure.
Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have been bearishly aligned since the breakdown began.
On the daily chart, the price is well below all three key moving averages (50, 100, 200), suggesting a bearish bias with a potential for further testing of previous swing lows.
MACD & RSI
MACD shows a bearish crossover with a negative histogram, reinforcing the strength of the recent sell-off. RSI reached overbought levels at 65, but failed to hold, indicating distribution rather than accumulation. Momentum may continue to fade as price remains below the 50 RSI level.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility increased sharply following the breakdown, with the Bollinger Band width expanding. Price closed near the lower band at 0.3938, suggesting continued pressure to test the lower range of the bands and possibly a breakdown below the 0.3744 support.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked sharply during the breakdown with a massive 642,898.0 trades during the final 5-minute candle. This confirms strong selling pressure and a likely shift in market sentiment. Turnover is in line with the price move, showing no divergence.
Fibonacci Retracements
A key Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level is at 0.3784–0.3802, which coincides with recent support seen on the 5-minute chart. The 50% retracement at 0.3875 may serve as a potential retest area if there is a bounce.
Price appears to be in a bearish phase, with key support levels near 0.3744 and 0.3854 to watch. A break below 0.3744 could signal further downward momentum. Investors should remain cautious, as volatility and volume suggest a shift in control to sellers.
