Structure & Formations

Key support levels appear at 0.883, 0.878, and 0.873, coinciding with prior lows and Fibonacci retracement levels. Resistance remains strong near 0.89 and 0.9, with price failing to hold above these levels after 20:00 ET. A bearish engulfing pattern formed during the 23:45–00:00 ET session, indicating short-term bearish pressure. A potential bullish reversal could form if price holds above 0.873.

Moving Averages

On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages remain bearish, with the 20-line dipping below the 50-line during the overnight hours. Daily moving averages show a similar trend, with the 50- and 100-period lines converging near 0.89, reinforcing the significance of that level.

Momentum Indicators

The MACD showed a bearish crossover at 0.003, with the histogram declining steadily after the 20:00 ET surge. RSI dipped into oversold territory around 0.875, but has not yet triggered a strong rebound. This suggests that bearish momentum may persist in the short term unless a clear bullish reversal is confirmed with above-0.882 trading.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility expanded significantly after the 20:00 ET window, with prices reaching the upper band by 21:00 ET. By 04:00 ET, the bands had contracted slightly, but price remained near the lower band, suggesting a continuation of bearish bias. The recent expansion indicates a period of heightened uncertainty and potential for a breakout or breakdown.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked above 100,000 during the 17:00–21:00 ET period, coinciding with a strong move to 0.906. Notional turnover mirrored this activity, with a peak at $16,956.51 at 20:00 ET. However, after 22:00 ET, volume decreased significantly, suggesting a pullback in buying interest. Price and volume moved in line after 20:00 ET, confirming bearish continuation.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci retracements based on the 0.87–0.906 swing suggest 61.8% support at 0.886 and 38.2% at 0.892. Price has tested both levels multiple times, with the 61.8% zone acting as a key area of potential accumulation or breakdown. A close below 0.873 would target the next 61.8% level at 0.865.

Price appears poised to test lower support levels in the next 24 hours, with a potential for a short-term bounce from the 0.873–0.876 range. Traders should remain cautious about bearish continuation, especially if the 0.873 level fails to hold.
