Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, 20- and 50-period moving averages closely aligned near 1.0868, confirming the consolidation phase. Daily moving averages (50/100/200) showed a flat trend, with no strong directional signal emerging.

The 5-minute MACD showed no clear momentum divergence, while the RSI oscillated between 45 and 52, suggesting no overbought or oversold conditions. Traders appear to be waiting for a catalyst to break the current tight range.

Volume & Turnover
Volume was mostly subdued until the early hours of the morning (ET), when it spiked dramatically—reaching 437.13 at 04:45 ET and 284.79 at 04:00 ET. This was accompanied by a surge in turnover, with a single 5-minute candle accounting for over 40% of the total turnover.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent 5-minute swing from 1.0867 to 1.0870, price tested the 38.2% retracement (1.0869) but failed to break through to 61.8%. No major daily retracement levels were relevant given the flat trend.
Going forward, traders may watch for a breakout from the 1.0867–1.0870 range or a continuation of consolidation. A sudden increase in volume or external macro catalysts could drive the next move. Investors should remain cautious of false breakouts and the possibility of extended range-bound trading.
