Price spent much of the session consolidating between 3.745 and 3.748, with the 20-period moving average acting as a dynamic support level during the early hours. A bearish engulfing pattern formed at 19:30 ET, signaling a potential short-term reversal. The 3.742–3.745 zone emerged as a critical support level, with multiple rejections and elevated volume. A long-legged doji at 00:00 ET suggested indecision ahead of the downward move.

On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period MA provided support between 16:00 and 19:30 ET, while the 50-period MA sloped downward during the later hours, aligning with the bearish momentum. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is slightly above current price levels, suggesting the pair is consolidating near a key medium-term support zone.

Momentum & Volatility

The RSI showed signs of bearish divergence from 19:00 ET onward, with price rising while momentum fell. MACD turned negative around 19:15 ET. The histogram showed a gradual bearish expansion. Bollinger Bands expanded after 19:00 ET, indicating rising volatility, while price spent the night near the lower band, reinforcing the bearish tone.

Volume and Turnover

Volume remained steady during the early hours but spiked after 19:00 ET as the pair broke below 3.745. Notional turnover also increased, aligning with the downward move. However, price and turnover diverged slightly after 02:00 ET as volume dropped despite continued bearish pressure.

Fibonacci Retracements

On a 5-minute swing from 3.745 to 3.75, the 61.8% level is at 3.7465, which the price tested multiple times but failed to hold. On a larger daily move from 3.732 to 3.75, the 50% retracement is at 3.741, which now appears to be a key area of interest.

The pair may test 3.741–3.739 as the next support, with a break below this level potentially opening the way to 3.730. However, buyers may retest the 3.745–3.748 range if the support holds. Investors should remain cautious of overnight volatility and watch for a possible retest of 3.746 as a near-term pivot.
