Momentum and Volatility

MACD indicators showed minimal separation, with the histogram oscillating around zero, consistent with sideways action. RSI remained centered near 50, indicating balanced buying and selling pressure. Volatility, as measured by Bollinger Bands, widened significantly during the early morning hours (06:45–09:15 ET), but price failed to sustain a breakout.

Volume and Turnover

Volume spiked notably during the 5-minute candle at 01:00 ET and again at 06:45–09:15 ET, with the latter coinciding with a high of 1.0007 and a low of 0.9989. Despite these spikes, price did not confirm a directional move. Turnover aligned with volume surges, though no divergence between price and turnover was observed.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying 5-minute swing levels to the morning high of 1.0007 and low of 0.9989, key Fibonacci levels at 38.2% (0.9995) and 61.8% (0.9991) were frequently tested but not breached. This suggests a strong internal consolidation phase.

Looking ahead, the immediate range of 0.9991–0.9995 appears to remain key, with a break above 0.9995 or below 0.9991 likely to signal the next directional move. Investors should monitor volume during key breakout attempts, as divergence could hint at potential reversals. As always, volatility and volume spikes should be treated with caution, as they can indicate either strength or exhaustion.
