Structure and Price Action
The price action displayed a sharp intraday high of 2.54, followed by a sell-off to 2.23, a 5.7% decline. A consolidation phase followed, with price holding above 2.30 for 4.3 hours, indicating a potential short-term support area. A bearish engulfing pattern formed near 2.29, suggesting continued downward pressure. A doji at 2.34 also appears to indicate indecision or a potential reversal signal.
Moving Averages and Momentum
On the 5-minute chart, the 20SMA crossed below the 50SMA during the sell-off, reinforcing bearish momentum. The daily 50SMA and 200SMA lines were both breached by the low of 2.23. The MACD line dipped sharply into negative territory and the RSI reached oversold levels (32.7) at 07:00 ET, indicating potential short-term reversal could occur.
Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands showed a tightening pattern post 02:00 ET as volatility declined, suggesting a potential breakout or reversal may be on the horizon. Price remained below the lower band during the early morning sell-off but climbed into the middle band by the afternoon.
Volume and Turnover Analysis
The highest volume spike occurred at 00:15 ET with 420,971.5 units, coinciding with a sharp 0.05 drop in price. However, this was followed by a rapid decline in both volume and turnover, suggesting the bearish momentum may have exhausted. Price and turnover aligned during the sell-off but diverged in the late morning, signaling weakening bearish conviction.
Key Levels and Fibonacci Analysis
Recent 5-minute swings indicate key support at 2.23 and 2.30, with 2.34 as near-term resistance. On a daily scale, Fibonacci retracement levels suggest a potential bounce from the 61.8% level of the 2.54 to 2.23 range, currently at 2.34.
Looking ahead, the asset may test the 2.30 support level again, and traders should watch for a potential bounce from there. If not, a retest of the 2.23 low could follow. Investors should remain cautious and monitor the 50SMA and RSI for signs of a reversal.
