Structure & Formations

Price tested the 45.00 level multiple times during the session, forming a potential bearish reversal pattern after a brief rally. A large bearish engulfing pattern appeared around 17:15 ET, which may indicate a short-term shift in momentum. A long lower shadow and narrow bodies near 44.82–44.85 suggest consolidation. Key support appears to be forming at 44.80–44.82, while 44.93–44.95 may act as near-term resistance.

Moving Averages

On the 5-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages were both above 44.80, showing a slight bearish bias in the short term. On the daily chart, the 50, 100, and 200-period moving averages are not fully visible with only one full daily bar, but the closing at 44.84 appears to hold above the 50-day line (if available), suggesting some intermediate support.

MACD & RSI

The MACD line showed a bearish cross in the late afternoon, reinforcing the bearish momentum. RSI peaked near 70 in the early evening, indicating overbought conditions, before retreating into neutral territory. A divergence between the price and RSI may suggest further downward correction could be in play, though the strength of the move back to 44.84 implies caution is needed.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility was relatively low in the early morning, with the bands narrowing around 44.82–44.84. A sharp move to 45.00 later in the day caused the bands to expand again, with the price briefly breaching the upper band. The current close of 44.84 sits closer to the midline, indicating a potential settling of momentum.

Volume & Turnover

Volume surged during the test of 45.00, with over 1,000 units traded in two key 5-minute intervals, but failed to sustain the level. Notional turnover followed a similar pattern, peaking at over 58,528.24 Hryvnia during the 20:30 ET period. However, the morning hours saw near-zero volume, suggesting a lack of participation. No clear divergence between price and turnover was observed, but the bearish consolidation was confirmed by the volume profile.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement to the 44.67–45.00 swing, the 61.8% level aligns with 44.84–44.85, which corresponds closely to the final close. This suggests the pullback has reached a key psychological level. Further downward retests of the 38.2% (44.78) and 23.6% (44.87) levels could occur, but the 61.8% level may provide short-term support.

In the coming 24 hours, the market may test the 44.80–44.82 support area, with the possibility of a short-term rebound if buyers emerge. However, a break below this range could trigger further downside toward 44.75. Investors should remain cautious for potential volatility as key levels are approached.
