Structure & Formations

The 15-minute chart revealed a bullish engulfing pattern around 0.0258-0.0261 on 19:00-20:00 ET, but this was swiftly undone by a large bearish candle that gapped down to 0.0255. A bearish divergence formed at 0.0268 as price peaked but volume waned. On the daily chart, VETUSDT is currently consolidating near the 0.0260 level, with the 50-day SMA at 0.0262 and 200-day SMA at 0.0254 providing a framework for near-term direction. A key support level appears to be forming near 0.0254-0.0255, while resistance remains at 0.0265-0.0268.

MACD & RSI

The 15-minute MACD line crossed above the signal line in the early session, suggesting short-term bullish momentum, but quickly reversed as bears took control. RSI reached 72—overbought territory—on 04:15 ET before dropping into neutral ground (~48 at 12:00 ET). This indicates a potential shift in market sentiment, though RSI remains below the 50 level, suggesting bearish pressure is still dominant. On the daily chart, RSI has been in neutral to slightly oversold territory, pointing to a potential rebound but without a clear breakout signal.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands contracted between 03:00 and 04:00 ET, setting the stage for a volatility spike. Price broke out of the upper band briefly before collapsing back into the lower band by 05:00 ET. Current price is near the middle band, suggesting a period of consolidation. This pattern could indicate a potential reversal if price manages to break back above the upper band in the next 24 hours.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked during the sharp bearish move from 0.0268 to 0.0255, especially between 19:00 and 20:00 ET, where turnover surged due to a large bearish candle. However, price failed to confirm a breakout above or below key levels, suggesting a possible reversal or range-bound pattern. The recent divergence between volume and price (high volume during a bearish move but no sustained follow-through) points to potential indecision in the market.

Fibonacci Retracements

On the 15-minute chart, the 38.2% retracement level was tested at 0.0263-0.0264, and the 61.8% level at 0.0257-0.0258 was a key area of support. On the daily chart, the 61.8% retracement of the recent bearish swing sits at 0.0254-0.0255, which may offer near-term support. A break above 0.0265 would suggest a test of the 1.00 Fibonacci extension at 0.0268-0.0270, but for now, price remains in a tight consolidation pattern.

Forward-Looking View

The coming 24 hours may see renewed attempts to break out of the current consolidation pattern, particularly if volume picks up at key levels. A sustained move above 0.0265 could signal a bearish exhaustion, but traders should remain cautious of a potential pullback to test 0.0254-0.0255. As with all volatile assets, sudden news or macro shifts could quickly alter the trajectory, making for a high-risk environment.
