Structure & Formations
The price broke above a key resistance at 6.15 during the early hours of the session, supported by a strong 5-minute candle that opened at 6.147 and closed at 6.189. A bullish engulfing pattern formed around 22:45 ET-1, followed by a continuation of upward momentum. A potential descending triangle formed from 6.22 to 6.14 during the early morning, but buyers took control and pushed prices past the upper boundary. A strong 5-minute doji emerged near 6.28 during a short pullback, indicating indecision.
Moving Averages
Short-term moving averages on the 5-minute chart (20/50) remained bullish, with the 50-period line supporting the trend. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA crossed above the 100-period MA, signaling a potential continuation of the uptrend. The 200-period MA currently sits around 5.98, suggesting a long-term bullish bias.
Momentum Indicators
MACD turned bullish in the early hours, with a strong signal line crossing above the zero line. The RSI moved into overbought territory (above 70) after the breakout and has since slightly retraced, remaining in the 65–70 range, suggesting continued strength. The divergence between price and RSI during a short consolidation period near 6.25 suggested temporary weakness but failed to trigger a meaningful correction.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands expanded significantly during the breakout phase as volatility increased, with prices rising well above the upper band. The widening of the bands suggests a period of heightened uncertainty and strong directional movement. Prices have since traded within a narrower range, indicating a potential consolidation phase ahead.
Volume and Turnover
Volume spiked during the breakout phase, with a 5-minute candle at 22:45 ET-1 showing over 1.15 million UNI traded. The highest notional turnover came during the breakout at 22:45 ET-1, where $6.84 million changed hands. A divergence between price and turnover occurred around 03:00 ET, with prices rising but turnover declining, suggesting a potential exhaustion of buying pressure.
Looking ahead, a test of the 6.24–6.28 resistance zone appears likely, though a pullback to 6.12–6.16 support could occur as RSI suggests overbought conditions. Investors should watch for a potential breakdown below 6.15 or a confirmation above 6.28 to determine the next directional move. As with all volatile assets, sudden corrections remain a risk despite the current bullish bias.
