On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages indicate a flattening trend with price hovering below the 50SMA, consistent with a bearish bias.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 5-minute chart, price action appears to find support at the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the $3.06e-06 to $3.24e-06 swing. This suggests that a test of $3.07e-06 may offer limited short-term support, but a break below that could open the path to $3.04e-06.

Looking ahead, a break below $3.06e-06 could lead to a test of $3.04e-06. Investors should remain cautious as consolidation periods can quickly tip toward sharp reversals.
