Structure & Formations
Price action displayed a strong bearish bias early in the session, with multiple bearish engulfing patterns reinforcing the downtrend.
A key support level emerged between 4.27 and 4.29, with volume surging during the bounce. A large-volume reversal candle near 4.293 signaled a potential short-covering or accumulation phase, though it remains to be seen if this level will hold.
Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages both crossed below price during the decline, indicating bearish momentum. While the daily chart remains above its 50- and 200-period MAs, the shorter-term bearish crossover signals caution for near-term price action.
MACD & RSI
The RSI dipped into oversold territory below 30, indicating potential for a short-term rebound. However, the MACD turned negative and remained in bearish territory, suggesting downward momentum may persist. The divergence between RSI and price may hint at a temporary bounce, but bearish bias remains intact.
Bollinger Bands
Price broke below the lower Bollinger Band during the early session decline, signaling high volatility and bearish conviction. Volatility appears to be expanding, with price action moving wide relative to the band range. A test of the upper band may occur if buyers step in near 4.30–4.31.
Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked significantly during key price reversals, especially around the 4.293 level, suggesting meaningful participation. Turnover aligned with volume increases during these periods, indicating that price moves were supported by notional value. No major divergence was observed between volume and price, supporting the integrity of the bearish trend.
Fibonacci Retracements
The 61.8% Fibonacci level on the 5-minute decline from 4.31 to 4.269 sits near 4.293, which coincided with a large-volume reversal candle. This level may now act as a short-term support. On the daily chart, 4.30–4.31 represents a key 50% retracement level, offering potential resistance for near-term buyers.
Looking ahead, price may test the 4.29–4.30 range for support/resistance in the next 24 hours. A break below 4.27 could signal further bearish momentum, while a retest of 4.304 may provide entry opportunities for cautious longs. Investors should remain mindful of increased volatility and potential for extended range trading.
