Structure & Formations
The 15-minute chart displayed a strong bearish breakdown from 0.1730–0.1715, followed by a consolidation phase. A bullish engulfing pattern formed at the 0.1760–0.1770 level, which appears to be a key area of psychological resistance. A doji formed at the 0.1794 high, suggesting indecision, and a potential reversal.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are closely aligned, suggesting a sideways bias. The 50-period MA crossed above the 100-period MA in the morning, signaling a potential short-term bullish trend. Daily 50/100/200 MAs are in a positive alignment, supporting a longer-term uptrend.
MACD & RSI
The MACD line crossed above the signal line in the early hours, confirming a bullish momentum shift. RSI reached 72 near 0.1794, suggesting overbought conditions, and has since corrected to the mid-50s, indicating balanced buying and selling pressure.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands contracted significantly during the consolidation phase before the breakout, suggesting a potential volatility expansion. Price closed near the upper band at 0.1794, but has since pulled back toward the midline. This suggests a possible continuation of the bullish move, provided the 0.1756 support holds.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked during the 05:00–08:00 ET window, coinciding with the price breakout above 0.1760. Notional turnover also increased, confirming the move as a genuine accumulation phase rather than a short-term spike. Divergence in volume and price was observed near 0.1794, suggesting caution in overextending long positions.
Fibonacci Retracements
The recent 0.1701–0.1794 swing shows a 61.8% retracement at 0.1756, which has held as a key pivot. A 38.2% retracement at 0.1772 appears to be forming as a potential resistance level. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the 0.1730–0.1794 move aligns with the 0.1760 level, which now acts as a critical support/resistance zone.
The next 24 hours could see further testing of the 0.1756–0.1770 range, with a potential break above 0.1780 signaling a stronger bullish phase. However, a retest of the 0.1730–0.1756 zone is a key risk if the overbought RSI fails to hold. Investors should watch for volume confirmation on any directional move.
