Structure & Moving Averages
The 5-minute chart shows TONUSDT forming a bullish flag pattern following a sharp rally to $1.915, with the 20-period moving average at $1.886 providing temporary support. The 50-period line has acted as a dynamic floor during pullbacks. On the daily chart, the 50/100/200 SMA lines remain widely separated, with no immediate convergence suggesting trend ambiguity.
Momentum and Volatility
MACD shows a narrowing bullish divergence after the 16:30 ET peak, indicating waning momentum. RSI reached overbought levels above 70 at $1.915, but has since fallen back into neutral territory. Bollinger Bands widened during the intraday rally, signaling rising volatility, but the price has since retracted toward the mid-band.
Volume and Divergence
Volume spikes were observed during the 16:30–17:00 ET rally, with the highest turnover at $1.914–1.908, though this was followed by bearish volume during the 17:00–17:45 ET pullback. Notional turnover diverged from price during the late-day correction, suggesting uneven buying pressure.
Patterns and Retracement Levels
A bearish engulfing pattern formed around $1.885–1.887, indicating potential short-term bearish bias. Fibonacci retracements suggest a 38.2% level at $1.896 and a key 61.8% level at $1.877 as potential support clusters. A test of the $1.86–1.87 area is likely if the 20SMA is breached.
Price may remain range-bound in the short term, with a possible retest of support at $1.86–1.87. Traders should monitor the 50-period MA for signs of bullish re-entry, but volatility remains elevated, posing increased downside risk over the next 24 hours.
