In addition, Bitcoin [BTC] broke below the $23.5k level, accelerating its short-term price correction. Although TRX flashed green by press time, the market was cautious amidst the upcoming FOMC meeting, which could further constrict the price action within this consolidation range.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the On Balance Volume (OBV) exhibited fluctuations on the three-hour chart. In particular, the RSI pattern showed historical rejection at the mid-level of 50. 

As such, the sideways trading pattern within the $0.06178 – $0.06368 range could extend for the next few hours. In addition, upward momentum must deal with the hurdles at $0.06264 and $0.06312 and the short-term supply zone above $0.06368. On the other hand, a drop within the range could be held by the 100-period EMA (exponential moving average). 

However, a breach of the above price consolidation range would invalidate the above bias. A drop below the demand zone could settle at $0.06020, while a breach above the supply zone could retest the $0.06525 resistance level.
