• Solid support emerged at $2.09 following institutional buying during intraday collapse; resistance holds at $2.15-$2.16 zone with high-volume rejection
• 24-hour activity runs 9.8% above weekly baseline, indicating normal participation; major 80% volume spike at resistance validates current range structure
• Range-bound action between $2.09-$2.16 with momentum fading into close; series of lower highs points to near-term pressure within established boundaries
