Structure & Formations

Moving Averages and Momentum

On the 5-minute chart, the price fell below both 20 and 50-period moving averages in the afternoon and remained below them into the closing hour. RSI on the 15-minute chart hit an oversold reading near 28, suggesting potential for a short-term rebound. MACD crossed below the signal line midday, confirming the bearish momentum that followed.

Volatility and Bollinger Bands

Volatility appeared to narrow between 04:00 and 07:00 ET as Bollinger Bands contracted, but this was followed by a sharp break below the lower band in the afternoon. The final 15-minute candle at 17:00 ET showed a 0.1274 low with high volume, suggesting bearish exhaustion might not be far off.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked dramatically in the final hour, particularly at 16:45 ET and 17:00 ET with turnover reaching $15,780 and $15,986, respectively. This aligns with the breakdown below key support levels, indicating strong bear participation.

Fibonacci Retracements

The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the morning’s bullish swing around 0.1345 failed to hold as price broke below 0.1340. On the 15-minute chart, the 38.2% retracement level at 0.1327 was briefly tested but not held, signaling continued bearish bias.

The next 24 hours may see further consolidation near the 0.1270–0.1280 range as bears test for support. A retest of the 0.1327–0.1330 area could offer a potential entry for short-term traders, but risks remain on the downside if bears continue to control the momentum. Investors should remain cautious of potential breakouts or sharp reversals from key Fibonacci levels.
