Summary
• Price action formed key resistance at 226.84 and support at 223.12, with bearish engulfing patterns near peaks.
• RSI dipped into oversold territory below 30, signaling potential short-term rebound, but momentum remains weak.
• Volatility expanded mid-day with a sharp rally, but volume failed to confirm strength above 226.56.
• Bollinger Bands widened during the late-night surge, indicating heightened uncertainty and consolidation risk.
• Fibonacci levels at 224.14 (38.2%) and 225.76 (61.8%) are critical for near-term directional bias.
Sui/Yen (SUIJPY) opened at 225.04, reached a high of 227.16, and fell to 222.8 before closing at 225.78 by 12:00 ET. Total volume was 147,679.85, with notional turnover of 33,695,186.73.
Structure & Formations
Price tested the 223.12 support twice, forming a bullish hammer pattern that may suggest a short-term bottom. Resistance at 226.84 held firm during a midday sell-off, though a bearish engulfing candle at that level indicates caution. A strong bullish reversal occurred near 223.6, suggesting potential for a retest of 225.06 as immediate resistance.
Moving Averages and Momentum
On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period moving average rose steadily after 01:30 ET, aligning with the morning rally, while the 50-period line lagged but showed positive divergence. The daily 50/100/200 EMAs remain broadly neutral, with no clear bias toward a breakout. The MACD line crossed the signal line twice, indicating mixed momentum, but RSI hovering near 30 suggests oversold conditions could support a bounce.
Volatility and Turnover
Bollinger Bands expanded significantly between 01:30 and 05:00 ET as SUIJPY surged past 225.06, but the price failed to close above 226.84 during that phase, suggesting exhaustion. Volume spiked sharply during the early morning rally but declined after 08:00 ET, indicating a loss of conviction. The volume/price divergence during the 226.84 peak is a cautionary sign for further upside.
Forward Outlook and Risk
Price may retest the 225.76–226.0 cluster for confirmation of bullish momentum, but a failure to hold above 225.18 could see a retest of 224.14. Investors should watch for volume confirmation on breakouts or breakdowns and remain cautious on overextensions beyond 226.84 or below 223.12.
