Structure & Formations
Price action displayed a tight consolidation pattern between 0.00772 and 0.00778 for most of the day before a sharp decline to 0.00751 in the late afternoon. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at 0.00761–0.00754 around 16:45–17:00 ET, indicating a potential reversal of short-term bullish momentum. 0.00768 acted as a key support level, with price bouncing off it multiple times.
Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, price spent much of the session below the 20- and 50-period moving averages, reflecting a weakening trend. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA at ~0.00774 and 200-period MA at ~0.00776 suggested a neutral to slightly bearish bias for longer-term participants.

MACD & RSI
The MACD turned negative during the final 4 hours of the session, with the line crossing below the signal line to confirm bearish momentum. The RSI hovered around 40–50 for most of the day, suggesting neutral conditions, though a drop below 40 in the late hours hinted at increased bearish pressure. No overbought or oversold conditions were observed during the 24-hour window.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility expanded significantly in the 16:45–17:00 ET period, with price moving from near the upper band to the lower band. This sharp contraction suggested a high-probability price reversal zone, which was confirmed with the bearish breakout. Prior to that, Bollinger Bands remained relatively narrow, indicating a period of consolidation.
Volume & Turnover
Volume remained moderate until the final hours, when it surged to over 2.46 million units (at 16:45–17:00 ET), coinciding with the sharp decline to 0.00751. Notional turnover followed a similar pattern, with the largest spike reaching $1.86 million in that same 15-minute window. This volume surge confirmed the bearish price move rather than contradicting it.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci levels to the 0.00778–0.00751 move, the 38.2% retracement level (0.00766) was tested twice during the session. The 61.8% level (0.00763) was also a key support that held during the early part of the decline but eventually failed, suggesting increasing bearish conviction in the final hours.
Conclusion
The sharp price drop in the late hours appears to mark a short-term bearish shift, with support now likely forming around 0.00753–0.00757. However, given the volatility and large volume observed, traders should remain cautious as the market may consolidate or test these levels again. The next 24 hours will be key for identifying whether this move is a temporary correction or the start of a deeper decline.
