Structure and Price Action
Price action on the 5-minute chart was largely sideways until late on 12/17, when a bearish breakdown began from the 0.0123 level. A sharp drop to 0.01207 followed, supported by increased volume.

Momentum and Indicators
The RSI reached oversold territory (below 30) as the price approached 0.01207–0.01209. MACD remained negative with a bearish crossover, reinforcing downward pressure. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages on the 5-minute chart have both crossed below price, indicating continued bearish momentum.
Volatility and Volume
Volatility expanded during the breakdown, with the price reaching the lower Bollinger Band on 12/18. Notable volume spikes occurred between 05:15–06:15 ET, confirming the move below key support. However, volume has since dried up, suggesting a potential pause in selling.
Fibonacci and Levels
A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the move from 0.01238 to 0.01207 aligns with 0.01222, a level that failed to hold. The next target, if the move continues, could be the 0.01192 level, which has already been touched.
Forward-Looking View
Price appears to be consolidating near 0.01207–0.01214, with RSI showing potential for a minor rebound. However, buyers may struggle to reclaim key support without a surge in volume. Investors should watch for a break above 0.01222 for a potential reversal or a drop below 0.01207 for deeper bearish follow-through in the next 24 hours.
