Structure & Formations
Price remained within a tight consolidation range of 0.288–0.294 for most of the day. A key breakout occurred after 16:00 ET as the price surged past 0.298, forming a small bullish flag pattern. No definitive reversal patterns were identified on the 5-minute chart, but the final hour saw a bullish engulfing pattern as price closed near the high.
Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages remained nearly flat, reflecting the low volatility and consolidation. Price crossed above the 50-period line in the final 5 hours, suggesting increasing momentum. On a daily basis, the 50-period moving average appears to be providing support slightly above 0.291, but the 200-period line is not yet in play.
MACD & RSI
The RSI rose above 50 in the afternoon, indicating growing bullish momentum. MACD showed a positive crossover in the early evening, with a widening histogram, supporting the likelihood of continued upward movement. While RSI did not enter overbought territory, the momentum shift was clearly visible.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands remained relatively narrow until the 16:00 ET timeframe, after which they expanded, reflecting the price breakout. Price moved well above the upper band in the final hour, suggesting a period of increased volatility and potential follow-through.
Volume & Turnover
Volume was relatively low until late in the session, with a sharp increase after 16:00 ET. Turnover rose in parallel, particularly in the final hour when price broke above 0.298, indicating strong buyer participation. The volume and turnover divergence seen earlier in the day was resolved by the end of the session, confirming the price move.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the key 0.288–0.301 swing on the 5-minute chart, price held above the 61.8% level (around 0.296) and closed near the 78.6% level. This suggests that the breakout may still have room for further upward movement before encountering stronger resistance.
Looking ahead, the price could test key resistance levels around 0.302–0.305 in the next 24 hours, with a potential pullback to 0.295–0.296 as a possible consolidation zone. Investors should monitor the 50-period moving average and RSI levels for signs of momentum fatigue or reversal.
