Price briefly formed a bullish engulfing pattern in early morning hours, suggesting potential upward momentum. However, this was quickly reversed with a bearish engulfing pattern and a series of shrinking candle bodies, indicating fading buyer strength. A doji formed at 03:45 ET, signaling indecision in the market during the overnight session. Key resistance appears around 20.71, while support forms at 20.61–20.62 levels.
On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages both turned bearish in the afternoon session, with price dipping below both.

RSI fluctuated between 40 and 60, with a bearish divergence noted after 05:00 ET as price continued lower while RSI failed to confirm the move. MACD remained below its signal line, suggesting bearish momentum. Volatility expanded in the evening and late night hours, with Bollinger Bands widening, followed by a contraction in early morning. Price tested the lower Bollinger Band several times, suggesting potential oversold conditions.
Volume surged around 18:30 ET with a large 16,002.0 unit candle printing a 20.71 to 20.68 range, indicating a key distribution point. Turnover also spiked during this period, reinforcing the bearish reversal. Divergence appeared in the early morning as volume decreased while price continued to fall, raising concerns about fading conviction in the downtrend.
The market appears to be consolidating around 20.63, with key near-term support and resistance levels in focus. A break below 20.61 could signal further weakness, while a retest of 20.71 may provoke selling pressure. Investors should remain cautious ahead of the next 24 hours due to the mixed momentum signals and potential for renewed volatility.
