Structure & Formations

Key support levels were identified near 0.2840 and 0.2870, with resistance at 0.2930 and 0.2960. A bullish engulfing pattern emerged near 0.2910, while a bearish dark cloud cover formed in early ET hours around 0.2870. A doji appeared at 0.2890, signaling indecision.

Technical Indicators

The 20- and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart showed a bearish crossover in early ET, which reversed later as the 50-line crossed back above. RSI reached overbought levels twice in the past 24 hours, most recently at 0.2967. MACD showed a positive divergence during the final hours, suggesting potential follow-through in price.

Volatility & Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands contracted between 03:00 and 04:00 ET before expanding significantly following a 5-minute bullish reversal. Price action remained within the upper band for several hours, with a brief penetration near the 24-hour high. This suggests increased volatility and a higher probability of continuation or reversal patterns.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked near 0.2967 and again at the 24-hour close, with notional turnover confirming these moves. A divergence between volume and price was observed during a 0.2900–0.2870 pullback, where price declined with diminishing volume. This suggests limited conviction in the downward move.

Fibonacci Retracements

A 38.2% retracement level at 0.2895 acted as a key pivot point in the 24-hour window. The 61.8% level at 0.2935 was briefly tested and held. On the daily chart, the 50% level of a recent bearish move is near 0.2925, which appears to be in play ahead of the next 24-hour period.

Price may attempt a test of 0.2965–0.2980 in the next 24 hours, but a drop below 0.2900 could trigger further downward pressure. Investors should monitor volume and RSI for confirmation of momentum shifts and potential reversals.
