Moving Averages and Momentum
On the 5-minute chart, the 20SMA and 50SMA crossed during the early reversal from 0.5507, supporting the bullish breakout. The MACD turned positive during the morning ET rally, confirming a shift in momentum. RSI pushed into overbought territory near 0.5727 but failed to sustain above 70, suggesting possible bearish pressure.
Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands expanded during the morning rally, indicating rising volatility. Price remained within the bands for much of the 24-hour period but touched the upper band near 0.5727 and the lower band near 0.5507. These movements suggest a period of consolidation may follow.
Volume and Turnover Analysis
Volume surged during the morning reversal, with the largest 5-minute volume at 136,834 during the 09:00 ET session, aligning with a strong price move from 0.5554 to 0.5538. Notional turnover also spiked near this time, confirming the strength of the bullish reversal. Later in the day, volume declined as price approached 0.5689, suggesting possible exhaustion of the rally.
Forward-Looking Observation and Risk
The recent bounce from 0.5507 and subsequent rally toward 0.5727 indicate a potential short-term bullish trend, but the overbought RSI and bearish harami pattern at 0.5710–0.5698 could pressure the pair back toward 0.5635 in the next 24 hours. Traders should monitor the 0.5635 level as a key pivot and consider volatility expansion as a risk factor.
