Lower highs and lower lows; weekend range broken lower, now rotating 73,600–75,600.
Lower highs at 81,890 and 81,100 have produced a run of lower lows, and the 75,470–76,140 weekend consolidation resolved lower into the 73,443 swing low. Since then price has rotated between the 74,220 bounce low and the old range floor near 75,500. That floor has capped three bounce highs, sitting just above the 23.6% fib of the 81.1k–73.4k leg, with EMA20 still below EMA50. ATR(14) has expanded sharply off the weekend compression as macro took over after the hot NFP and wage beat.
What it said to watch
H4 close back above the 75,500 range floor would turn the retest into a reclaim of the old range
Failure to hold the 74,220 bounce low exposes the 73,443 swing low; a break there extends the lower-low sequence
Recovery through the 38.2% fib at 76,370 and the 76,445 range top would break the lower-high structure
US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC (core MoM f/c 0.2%), with Waller at 09:00 UTC, could materially shift this read
Stepping lower from 81,892; basing above the 73,443 swing low.
BTC has printed lower highs and lower lows since the 81,892 peak. The 81,103 rebound high failed and was followed by the 75,500 flush. Friday's hot payrolls left a wick to the 74,796 nfp low, which was absorbed, and the weekend compressed below a 76,150 range top before Sunday's drop to the 73,443 swing low. Price is now rebuilding toward the 75,600 bounce high, below both EMAs, and ATR(14) has re-expanded from the weekend compression.
What it said to watch
US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read: a hot core print would add to the post-payrolls hawkish pressure
H4 close above the 75,600 bounce high puts the 76,150 range top and the lower-highs line back in play
Recovery through the 76,150 range top exposes the 77,270 fib 50% of the 81,103–73,443 leg
Failure to hold the 74,796 nfp low reopens the 73,443 swing low; a break there extends the lower-low sequence
Lower highs and lower lows since 81893; early-week break of the 75.5k-76.1k range.
Swing structure has stepped lower all window. The lower highs run 81893 then 81103, and the lows have printed 76227, 75671, 74797 and now the 73443 swing low. The low-volatility weekend range between 75.5k and 76.1k broke lower early this week as Friday's hot NFP beat kept macro pressure hawkish, and the bounce stalled at the 75597 lower high, below both the EMA20 and EMA50. ATR(14) has expanded sharply off the weekend compression, and the 81103-73443 fib places the 50% level near 77273.
Support: 73,443.00, 73,000.00
Resistance: 75,597.00, 76,140.00, 77,273.00
What it said to watch
H4 close back above the 75597 lower high and 76140 range top would neutralise the range break
Failure to hold the 73443 swing low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 73000 round number
US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read; Fed speakers Goolsbee and Barkin today and Waller Tue add two-way risk
Price holding below the lower-high trendline keeps the downtrend read intact
Lower highs and lower lows since 81,104; range breakdown.
BTC has printed lower highs and lower lows since rejection at 81,104. The weekend range between roughly 75,470 and the 76,445 range top gave way to a new swing low at 73,443. The rebound stalled at the 75,597 bounce high and has rolled over, with EMA20 below EMA50 and ATR(14) expanding again after the weekend compression. The digest's 78–79k reference levels are stale, and price now sits about 5k lower, consistent with a failed post-hack recovery under a hawkish post-NFP backdrop.
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 73,443 swing low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 73,000 round number
Recovery above the 75,597 bounce high and back into the old range would neutralise the breakdown read
A reclaim of the 76,445 range top and the descending range-top line, then the fib 50% at 77,273, would break the lower-high structure
US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC (core f/c 0.2% m/m) and Fed speakers today could materially shift this read
Lower highs / lower lows since 81,104; 74.8k-76.4k range broken lower.
The rally to 81,104 failed. Price then collapsed through the 75.5k base, extending the lower highs sequence from the 81,893 peak, with price trading below both EMA20 and EMA50. The 74.8k-76.4k consolidation, capped at the range top near 76,446, gave way on the weekend drop to a 73,443 swing low; the rebound stalled at a 75,597 bounce high, a lower high under the old range floor. The hot NFP print and ETF outflows on top of the Binance-hack overhang frame the selling, and the ATR is expanding again after a week of compression.
What it said to watch
A failure to hold the 74,000 round number exposes the 73,443 swing low; a break there extends the lower-low sequence
An H4 close above the 75,597 bounce high, then the 76,446 range top, invalidates the lower-highs read
The 50% fib of the 81,104-73,443 drop at 77,273 is the next cap if the range top is reclaimed
US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC, with Fed speakers Mon-Tue beforehand, could materially shift this read

Downtrend, range broken lower · RSI 37 · price 74,620.82
Lower highs and lower lows since the 81.9k late-Oct peak; 75.5k–76.1k consolidation broken to the downside.
Lower-high, lower-low sequence intact since the 81,893 late-October peak. The early-November rally failed at 81,104 and reversed into a slide through the 74,797 prior low. A week-long tight consolidation between 75,470 and the 76,142 range top then broke lower to a 73,443 swing low, with the hot NFP and wage beat adding Fed-hawkish pressure on top of the Binance-hack overhang. ATR(14) has expanded off that compression, and price sits below both EMAs with EMA20 beneath the ema50 near 76,650.
What it said to watch
US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC (core f/c 0.2% m/m) could materially shift this read; Fed's Waller speaks at 09:00 UTC beforehand
An H4 close back above the 74,797 prior low and into the old range would point to a false break of the consolidation
Failure to hold the 73,443 swing low extends the lower-low sequence, with the 70,000 psych level the next round-number reference
The 76,142 range top, the 38.2% fib near 76,370 and the ema50 near 76,650 form a resistance cluster capping any rebound
