Structure & Key Levels
Price found strong support near $0.16 during the early part of the day, marked by a bullish reversal pattern and a cluster of consolidation candles. A descending triangle formed in the 5-minute chart, with resistance levels at $0.1649 (high of the day) and support at $0.1602. A potential break above $0.1649 may target $0.1670–0.1680, while a retest of $0.16 could trigger further consolidation or a short-term bounce.
Momentum & Indicators

Volatility & Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands showed a noticeable contraction between 01:00 and 03:00 ET, signaling a period of low volatility and a potential breakout. By 06:00 ET, bands had widened again, with price trading above the midline and near the upper band, suggesting increased buying pressure.
Volume & Turnover Analysis
Volume spiked sharply during the early morning and late night, with the largest volume candle (377,618) at 06:15 ET, coinciding with a price rebound from $0.1619 to $0.1635. Turnover increased in step with volume, showing strong alignment. A divergence between price and turnover was not observed, indicating confirmation of the recent bullish move.
Fibonacci Retracements
The most recent 5-minute swing from $0.1582 to $0.1649 saw price consolidate near the 61.8% retracement level at $0.1623. This level acted as a pivot point during the overnight session. Daily retracement levels from the broader swing suggest $0.1620 and $0.1649 as critical levels to watch for continuation or reversal.
Outlook and Risk Consideration
Price appears to have found a near-term floor at $0.16 and may test the $0.1649 high in the coming 24 hours. A break above that level could extend the rally toward $0.1670. However, a failure to hold above $0.1620 could invite a retest of $0.1600. Investors should remain cautious of a potential consolidation phase if volume declines.
