Volatility and Bollinger Bands

The 20-period Bollinger Bands narrowed sharply between 12:00–19:30 ET, followed by a volatility expansion after the 19:45 ET candle broke down from 0.1839 to 0.1811. Price closed the 24-hour period near the lower band at 0.1707, suggesting potential support in the 0.1700–0.1715 range.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci levels to the 0.1771–0.1823 swing, price found initial resistance at the 61.8% retracement level (~0.1798) and then support at the 38.2% retracement (~0.1782). However, the final drop below 0.1770 tested the 78.6% retracement (0.1761).

The market appears to be consolidating near 0.1700–0.1715, with key resistance at 0.1761 and 0.1798. A break above 0.1798 could signal a test of 0.1823, while a drop below 0.1700 would suggest a deeper correction. Traders should monitor volume during the next 24 hours for signs of follow-through.
