Structure & Formations
The 5-minute chart displayed several bullish engulfing patterns in the 0.0116–0.0118 range, especially after the 0.0117 support level was repeatedly tested. A doji formed at 0.0118 around 04:30 ET, signaling indecision. Price failed to break above 0.0119, with a bearish rejection forming at 20:15 ET as buyers failed to sustain momentum.

Moving Averages and Momentum
Short-term 20/50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart showed price oscillating between them without clear direction. The daily chart’s 50-period MA was around 0.0116, with price hovering slightly above. RSI remained within the 40–60 range, suggesting balanced momentum without clear overbought or oversold conditions. MACD histogram showed a narrowing trend, pointing to waning bullish momentum and potential reversal.
Bollinger Bands and Volatility
Price remained within the Bollinger Bands for most of the 24-hour period, with minimal expansion, indicating low volatility. The 0.0117–0.0118 range functioned as a tight trading channel, with a minor break to the downside at 04:45 ET followed by a retest and rejection.
Volume and Turnover
Volume spiked at 19:30 ET (997,581 contracts) and 04:15 ET (812,793 contracts), but failed to push price above 0.0119, indicating distribution. Turnover aligned with volume peaks but did not show significant divergence from price.
Fibonacci Retracements
A major swing high of 0.0119 and a swing low of 0.0113 defined a 61.8% retracement at 0.0116, which failed to hold during a test at 07:30 ET. The 38.2% retracement at 0.0117 acted as a temporary floor twice during the session, especially at 23:00 and 04:30 ET.
Looking ahead, price may retest 0.0116–0.0117 as the key near-term range. A break above 0.0119 could attract buyers, but sellers appear active in this zone. Traders should watch for divergence in RSI and volume, and be cautious of thin order book liquidity during low-volume periods.
