BTC fell from the 81.9K April peak to a 57.7K trough in mid-May, then carved a two-month base between roughly 62K and the 65,239 rejection level. Repeated weekly attempts at 65,239 have capped price, while a rising recovery line off the May low has held the base together. Friday's shock -23K NFP delivered a dovish macro tailwind, but crypto-specific weakness (Coldcard hack, liquidations) has kept the bid from clearing range resistance.

D1 close above 65,239 flips the range and opens the 67K supply zone
Failure to hold 63,268 swing low confirms a lower low toward the 60-61K psych zone

Range after multi-week decline.
BTC has spent the last six weeks basing in a 62,180-65,239 range after the sharp slide from 81,800 into the 57,700 low earlier in the window. Price has repeatedly rejected the 65,239 level even as Friday's shock -23K NFP softened the dollar, with crypto-specific pressure from the Coldcard exploit and liquidation flows capping upside. RSI has recovered to mid-range and EMA(50) has flattened, consistent with a bottoming phase rather than trend resumption.

Failure to hold 63,200 range low puts the 62,180 swing low and 60,700 psych zone in play
