24-Hour Price & Volume Summary

Structure and Price Action
Price broke down decisively after testing 0.0926–0.0928 resistance. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at 0.0923 (19:00–19:15 ET) and again at 0.0917 (20:00–20:15 ET), confirming bearish pressure. A doji at 0.0906 (04:00–04:15 ET) suggested exhaustion near 0.0902–0.0904 support. Key support appears to be forming at 0.0890–0.0895, where price found temporary relief multiple times.
Momentum and Oscillators
The RSI entered oversold territory near 30 in the early hours of 12:00 ET, but price continued lower, hinting at weak bearish exhaustion. MACD crossed into negative territory and remained bearish, with a short histogram showing declining momentum. Overbought conditions were only observed briefly at 0.0927 before the reversal.
Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands expanded during the early session peak and gradually contracted in the later hours, suggesting a reduction in short-term volatility. Price spent the bulk of the session within the bands but did test the upper band at 0.0927 and lower band at 0.0892. The narrowing bands may suggest a consolidation period is forming.
Volume and Turnover
Volume spiked during the breakdown at 18:00–19:45 ET, with the 0.0916–0.0921 range seeing heavy selling. Turnover declined as the session progressed, indicating reduced conviction in the downward move. A divergence between falling price and flat volume suggests further confirmation may be needed before a new bearish leg.
Fibonacci Retracements
Recent 5-minute swings showed price retracing 61.8% to 0.0897–0.0898 before pulling back. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement of the previous bullish swing is at 0.0888–0.0890. A close below this level may trigger deeper 61.8% support at 0.0876.
Moving averages on the 5-minute chart showed the 20-period MA holding above the 50-period MA, reinforcing the bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 MA are in a bullish alignment, but the intraday weakness may delay any reversal.
Looking ahead, the next 24 hours may see a test of 0.0890–0.0895 for support. A break below could target 0.0888–0.0885, but bearish momentum appears to be running out of steam. Investors should watch for any short-covering rallies as well as volume confirmation on key levels.
