Structure & Formations
Price action over the past 24 hours on the 5-minute chart showed a steady breakdown, with bearish engulfing patterns forming between 17:00 ET and 19:00 ET on 2025-12-18. A key support level at 0.029 was broken midday on 2025-12-18 and remained under pressure. By 00:00 ET on 2025-12-19, a doji formed near 0.0287, suggesting exhaustion in the downward move.
Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, the 20 and 50-period moving averages both trended lower, with price settling below both. This confirms short-term bearish bias. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA remains above 0.0300, indicating a wider divergence from the 200-period MA, which points to a potentially deeper correction ahead.
Momentum Indicators: MACD & RSI
The MACD crossed into negative territory after the initial sell-off and remained bearish, with a weak histogram suggesting slowing momentum.

Bollinger Bands and Volatility
Bollinger Bands widened significantly during the sell-off, with price hitting the lower band multiple times. By early morning, the bands began to contract slightly, hinting at a potential short-term stabilization. However, the consolidation appears to be on weaker volume, suggesting uncertainty among traders.
Volume and Turnover
Volume spiked during the early hours of 2025-12-19, with a sharp decline in turnover as prices moved below 0.029. This divergence between volume and price may indicate capitulation rather than a sustainable bottom.
Fibonacci Retracements
A 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level from the high of 0.0304 to the low of 0.0283 sits at 0.0294, which acted as resistance in the late hours of 2025-12-18. Price has since tested the 61.8% level at 0.0287, where it has found temporary support.
Outlook and Risk Consideration
Price appears to be consolidating near 0.0288, with oversold RSI suggesting a potential near-term bounce. However, weak volume and a lack of follow-through buying could mean the bearish trend continues. Traders should closely watch the 0.0287 support level for signs of a reversal or further breakdown. Volatility may remain elevated due to divergences in momentum indicators.
