The 29K NFP miss spiked BTC to 87,058 at 12:30 UTC. The move was rejected immediately, in line with the digest's shooting-star warning, and NY hours unwound the day's gains in a lower-high/lower-low sequence down to the 83,747 session low. The late-NY bounce is capped at the 84,434 swing high, below the 23.6% fib of the post-NFP drop (~84,530), with RSI(14) near 41 and price under both EMAs.

The 29K NFP miss spiked BTC to 87058 at 12:30 UTC, but the move was rejected. NY then unwound the entire Asia breakout, cutting through the 85000 round number and yesterday's 84400 lows to a session low at 83747. The late-NY bounce printed a higher low at 83860 and is stalling at the 84434 bounce high, below the 23.6% fib of the NFP drop.

Post-NFP lower highs, minor higher lows off ny low.
The 29K NFP miss spiked BTC to 87,058 at 12:30 UTC, a false break above the Asia-session highs. It was rejected, set a lower high at 86,995, and NY hours then unwound the entire day's gain to an 83,747 ny low.

The 29K NFP miss spiked BTC to 87,058 at 12:30 UTC, but the move was rejected. The NY session has since erased the whole Asia rally, broken the 84,400 prior low and printed a session low at 83,747.

The NFP-miss spike to 87,058 was rejected, with a double top against 86,995 an hour later. Price has since given back the Asian range and the window open, setting a swing low at 83,747.

BTC spiked to 87058 on the dovish 29K payrolls miss, but the move was rejected within the hour. The NFP drop since then has printed steady lower highs and lower lows through NY hours, erasing the whole Asia-session rally. Late in the NY session, price sits just above the 83747 session low with RSI(14) near 28. The 84205 bounce high and the 84370–84400 prior low zone cap the rebound.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked BTC to 87,058 at 12:30 UTC, but the false break above 87K was rejected. NY session then sold off in a chain of lower highs, slicing through the 84,400 prior low to a session low at 83,747 despite the dovish data. Late in NY hours, the bounce sits just above the 84,000 round number, with RSI(14) near 31 and price below both EMAs.

Lower highs and lower lows from 87,058; Asian low broken.
The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked BTC to 87,058 at 12:30 UTC. That move was rejected below 87K, and the post-NFP decline then printed a steady chain of lower highs through NY hours.

Lower highs from 87,058; session low 84,368 being retested.
The 29K NFP miss spiked BTC to 87,058 at 12:30 UTC, but the dovish print was rejected within the hour. The NY session has since unwound the whole Asia-London rally, and price now sits back below the 85,000 breakdown. Late-NY trade is pressing the 84,368 session low, which dipped under the prior-day lows near 84,395, after the only bounce stalled at the 84,784 bounce high; RSI(14) is around 24.

Post-NFP double top, lower highs and lower lows into late NY.
The NFP miss spiked BTC to 87,058 at 12:30 UTC, but a second failure at 86,995 formed a double top. NY hours then unwound the entire Asia rally in a lower-high, lower-low sequence, with a sweep just under the Asian low to an 84,368 session low before a modest late-NY bounce as RSI(14) recovers to ~32.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked BTC to 87,058 in the first hour of NY, but the 87K area rejected it twice. Price then slid along a falling trendline, giving back the whole Asia session breakout. It now sits near 85,000 just above the 84,857 session low, with RSI(14) near 25. The 85,412 spike base and the 85,594 london low now sit overhead as resistance.

The post-NFP spike to the 87,058 nfp high was rejected, and the 86,995 retest also failed, despite the dovish 29K payrolls miss. The NFP selloff in NY hours has since broken below the 85,594 london low and the 85,285 asia base.

Lower highs and lower lows; London low lost, Asian gains erased.
The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked BTC above the Asian and London highs to the 87,058 nfp high. Supply capped a second push at 86,995, and a chain of lower highs since then has driven price through the London low at 85,593 and erased the entire Asia-session gain. Price is now sitting on the 85,000 psych area just above the NY low at 84,988, with RSI(14) near 25 and the post-NFP drop fib measuring the bounce zone.

The dovish NFP miss (29K vs 90K) briefly spiked BTC to 87,058, but the move was rejected, and a lower high at 86,995 completed a double top. NY selling has since unwound the full Asia-session leg, cut through the london low at 85,594 and the asia base at 85,412, and is now pressing the 85,000 session low with RSI(14) near 29.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked BTC to the 87,058 nfp high at 12:30 UTC, but the push above the 86,464 london high failed. A lower high at 86,995 on the NY open preceded a slide through the 86,000 round number to a session low at 85,858, now sitting on the 78.6% fib of the 85,594–87,058 leg.

Failed break above Asian high, lower high at 86,995.
The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) drove a spike to 87,058 that was rejected, and a lower high at 86,995 followed. Price has since faded back below the 86,580 Asian high into the 61.8% retrace of the 85,594 swing low to 87,058 leg, near 86,150. The NY session move now reads as a false break, with the London low at 85,956 the next reference below and RSI(14) neutral near 47.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked BTC to the 87,058 nfp high, but the move reversed within the same bar. A 86,995 lower high followed in the first hour of NY, and price is back under the 86,580 asian high near the 38.2% fib of the London low–nfp high leg. Pullbacks are still holding the nfp low and the rising trendline from the 85,956 swing low, with RSI(14) mid-range at 56.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked BTC to the 87,058 nfp high in the first NY bar, but the bar closed near its open, a sharp rejection. Follow-through stalled at the 86,808 lower high, and price is now consolidating just above the pre-NFP range top at 86,435, near the 38.2% fib of the London-open move and under the 86,581 Asia high.

Asia breakout above 85,500, now basing 85,650–85,950 below lower highs.
An Asia-session short squeeze cleared the 85,000–85,500 ex-supply band and spiked to an 86,581 session high. That high was rejected, and price faded to an 85,651 pullback low near the 38.2% fib. At London open, price is holding above EMA20 around 85,640 but capped by lower highs near 85,950, with RSI(14) cooling to ~58.

BTC turned up from a double bottom near 84,400 and broke through the 85,400–85,500 band in a single 1,200-point Asia session bar. The digest ties that move to a short squeeze. Since the 86,580 session high, price has printed a chain of lower highs, but the 85,650 swing low held between the 38.2% and 50% fib of the Asia rally, with London open next.

Asia ran from an 84,400 double bottom through the 85,410 breakout base to an 86,580 session high in a single 04:15 UTC bar, the short squeeze through the 85.5k band the digest flags.

Price has since slipped back under the 86,000 psych mark, and the 85,650 swing low sits near the 38.2% fib of the Asia move.
