Momentum and Divergences

The RSI has been trending downward, reaching oversold territory near 30 as price approached 0.1180. MACD lines flattened in the final hours, suggesting momentum is slowing. A divergence appears in the 05:15–08:45 ET window, where price made higher lows but MACD showed lower highs—this could precede a near-term bounce.

Volume and Turnover

Turnover spiked with the move above 0.1200–0.1220 but diverged from price during the consolidation phase, suggesting reduced conviction. Low-volume consolidation near 0.1180–0.1190 implies buyers may be testing the level.

Future Outlook

Price appears poised for a potential near-term bounce from 0.1180–0.1190, with 0.1202 as the immediate reentry target. Traders may watch for a break above 0.1206 as a potential reversal trigger. However, risks include a breakdown below 0.1180, which could trigger a retest of the 0.1176 low. As always, volume and divergence patterns will be key for confirming the next directional move.
