Higher lows from 80,601; retesting monday high after breakout.
After the late-Sunday low at 80,601, Monday's Asia-session rally stalled at the 83,058 monday high, and Tuesday then set a higher low at 81,203 along the higher-low trendline. In the first hour of NY, soft US housing data and a softer dollar drove an impulse to a 83,305 week high. The pullback held the 82,162 pullback low, and the latest dip found the 38.2% fib of the week impulse near 82,287. Price is now back testing the monday high above EMA(20), with RSI(14) near 63.

BTC has carved higher lows since Sunday evening's 80601 range low, with the tuesday low at 81200 holding the higher-low trendline before a NY-session spike to the 83305 week high. That spike lined up with soft US housing data and a softer dollar, but it met rejection and retraced to 82160, just above the 38.2% fib of the Sunday-to-Tuesday impulse, before price reclaimed EMA(20) near 82350. Price now sits back under the monday high at 83057 with RSI(14) near 63, still below overbought.

Higher lows since Sunday; post-spike range 82240–82825.
Higher lows from Sunday's 80601 low through Tuesday's 81200 base define the H1 uptrend, along a rising higher-low trendline. In the late NY session on Tuesday an impulse spiked to an 83305 week high above the 83057 Monday high. Price was rejected straight back below it in a false break, against a softer-dollar backdrop after weak US housing data. Since then price has compressed into an 82240–82825 range, holding the ema20 and the 50% retracement of the Tuesday impulse, with the ema50 near 82035 below and RSI(14) cooling to ~58 from near 70.

Two-way, recovering after data spike · RSI 57 · price 82,428.22
Higher low above week low; consolidation after failed break of Monday high.
BTC printed a higher low at the Tuesday base near 81120, above Sunday's 80600 week low, then spiked to an 83305 week high in the first hours of NY as soft US housing data eased some of the hawkish-Fed pressure from last week's hot core PPI. The break above the 83057 Monday high did not hold. Price retraced to the 82160 pullback low near the 50% fib of the Tuesday rally and is now consolidating in an 82290–82820 band above EMA(20), with RSI(14) cooling into the high 50s.

80,600–83,300 range with higher lows; failed hold above 83,057.
BTC held an 80,600–82,200 range over the weekend. A Sunday-evening rally off the 80,601 week low carried it to 83,057 in Monday's Asia session, and the pullback since has held a higher low near 81,120–81,200 twice. Today's soft US housing and hiring data drove an NY-session impulse to an 83,305 week high that faded back below the prior high within the next bar, leaving price near the 38% level of the post-data impulse fib, above EMA(20) and EMA(50), with RSI(14) near 59.

Higher lows inside 80,600–83,300 range; failed break of Monday high.
BTC has held an 80,600–83,300 range since Friday, with lows stepping up from the Sunday low at 80,601 to the Tuesday low at 81,203 along a rising trendline. Soft US housing data drove a 2,100-point NY session impulse through the Monday high at 83,057 to a Tuesday high of 83,305, but the break failed within the hour. Price has since held the pullback low near 82,160, just above EMA(20) and between the 50% and 61.8% levels of the NY impulse fib, with RSI(14) near 58 cooling without rolling over.

80,600–83,300 range; higher lows since Sunday, failed break of Monday high.
BTC has held an 80,600–83,300 range since the weekend. Higher lows at 80,601, 81,120 and 81,202 trace a rising trendline off Sunday's late-session low. Weak US housing data and a softer USD drove a NY spike through Monday's 83,057 prior high to an 83,305 week high, but the move slipped back under that level on the next bar, leaving a false break. Price now sits above the 82,030 weekly open, with EMA(20) at the same level, and the 82,161 pullback low lies between the 50% and 61.8% retracement of the NY spike.

Range with higher lows, NY spike rejected · RSI 56 · price 82,529.11
Higher low at 81,120 vs Sunday's 80,600; break above monday high reversed.
Since Sunday's 80,600 swing low, BTC has carved a 81,120–83,300 range. Tuesday's Asia-session low at 81,120 printed a higher low, and the Asian and London sessions built a base at 81,200–81,400. During NY hours today the US housing misses knocked the USD, and price spiked to a 83,305 week high above the 83,057 monday high, but the next bar closed back below it. That leaves a false break, with price at 82,530 above an ema20 near 81,980 that lines up with the 50% retracement of the Sunday-to-Tuesday swing, and RSI(14) at 56 after cooling from the spike.

Higher lows since Sunday; Tuesday range broken, Monday high cleared.
BTC broke out of Tuesday's 81120–82190 range in the first hours of NY. A single H1 bar added over 1,100 to print a week high at 83305 as weak US housing data (Pending Home Sales -7.3% vs -0.5% f/c) kept USD on the defensive. The move clears the Monday high at 83057, which capped the Asia-session rally off Sunday's 80601 low before a Monday-to-Tuesday fade to 81120; that left the higher-lows trendline intact, with price well above EMA(20) and EMA(50) and RSI(14) near 68 but not yet overbought.

Lower highs off 83058 week high, base at 81120–81230.
Sunday's late sun low at 80601 launched an impulse to the 83058 week high in Monday's Asia session. London and NY then sold it back to the 78.6% retracement near 81120 by Tuesday's Asia open, and price based at the 81200–81230 tue low through London. The 12:00 UTC bar lifted roughly 830 dollars to 82060 as the Housing Starts miss and a slower ADP average eased hike fears. That move broke the lower-high line and reclaimed EMA(20) near 81760, with EMA(50) just above at 81800, while RSI(14) lifted to ~60 and the 82187 range top, capped twice since Monday night, sits directly overhead.

Sunday evening's rally from the 80,601 sunday low to the 83,057 monday high has been almost fully unwound. Price has printed a run of lower highs since, sits below the 61.8% of that rally and under EMA(20) near 81,670, with RSI(14) around 37. Tuesday's Asia session flushed to the 81,120 asia low before bouncing, and today's soft US Housing Starts and ADP data at 12:15–12:30 UTC produced only a two-sided 12:00 bar that held the 81,217 day low, while last week's hot PPI still frames a USD-sensitive tape.
What it said to watch
H1 close below the 81,120 asia low breaks the day low floor and exposes the 80,601 sunday low

The rally off the 80601 sunday low ran through Monday's Asia session and topped at the 83058 week high around London open. Since then price has printed a run of lower highs and has slipped back below the 82030 weekly open and the ema20 near 81700, with RSI(14) in the high 30s. Price now trades below the 61.8% retrace of that leg as hot US PPI and activity data keep a macro headwind on BTC despite a softer dollar, though demand has so far held the 81120 asia low and today's 81230 session low.

Sunday evening's rally from the 80,600 swing low ran to the 83,060 Monday high at the London open. Since then each bounce has stalled lower, with the latest rejection at the 82,190 lower high in early Tuesday trade. Price now sits below EMA(20) near 81,680 and below EMA(50), with RSI(14) near 39; the 61.8% retracement of that impulse at 81,540 is capping, while Tuesday's asian low at 81,120 tagged the 78.6% level and today's london low at 81,230 is holding so far. The backdrop is the residual hawkish impulse from last week's hot US PPI and retail sales.

The late-Sunday rally from the 80,601 Sunday low ran to the 83,057 Monday high at London open. Price has since retraced about two-thirds of that Sunday-Monday rally on a series of lower highs, with Tuesday's Asia-session bounce rejected at 82,187. Price now trades below EMA(20) (~81,730), which slipped under EMA(50) during today's London session, while RSI(14) sits near 39 and the 78.6% fib near the 81,120 Tuesday low has held so far, with the London low at 81,230 just above it, as the residual hawkish US data impulse keeps BTC heavy.

Monday's Asia-session rally from the sunday low at 80601 hit the monday high at 83058 into London, then met rejection as US yields bounced in NY, extending the residual pressure from last week's hot PPI and retail sales. Since then H1 has printed a lower high at 82187 and slipped back under EMA(20) near 81780.

BTC has given back most of the rally from the Sunday low at 80,601, which ran during the late-US Sunday hours, to the Monday high at 83,058 printed in early London. Since that peak, price has carved a sequence of lower highs and slipped back below the EMA(20) near 81,780 into Tuesday's London open. The 61.8% retracement at ~81,540 has given way, leaving the Tuesday low at 81,120 as the nearest support, close to the 78.6% level. RSI(14) sits near 39, and the hawkish-Fed tone from last week's hot PPI still weighs on BTC even as the dollar softens.

Sunday's late-session range low at 80600 set up a sharp rally into Monday's London open, peaking at the 83060 week high. Since then the market has printed a run of lower highs. Tuesday's Asia session dipped to an 81120 asia low near the 78.6% retracement, and the bounce was rejected at the 82190 lower high, leaving price below the ema20 near 81850 with RSI(14) in the mid-40s. With no crypto-specific news, the backdrop is macro-led: last week's hot US PPI keeps the hawkish-Fed tone in place even as the USD trades heavy.

BTC rallied from Sunday's 80601 low into Monday's London open, setting an 83057 monday high, but has since carved a run of lower highs as last week's hot US PPI and retail prints keep a hawkish-Fed tone over risk assets. Price has slipped back below a flat, converged EMA20/50 near 81885 and sits just above the 61.8% fib of that rally at 81540, after the tuesday low at 81120 tagged the 78.6% retracement in the Asia session. The Asia bounce stalled at 82187, the latest lower high, with RSI(14) near 42 showing faded but not stretched momentum.

Lower highs off 83,058; 81,120 swing low held twice.
Sunday's late rally from the 80,601 Sunday low ran through Monday's Asian session to an 83,058 week high at the London open. London and NY then faded the move as the USD and US 10y yields firmed against a hawkish post-PPI Fed backdrop, printing a sequence of lower highs. Tuesday's Asian dip held the 81,120 swing low, which matches Saturday's low and the 78.6% retracement of the rally, and the rebound has carried price back to the week open near 82,031 with RSI(14) at 54 and a flat ema20 and EMA(50) converged around 81,900–81,950.

Sunday's low at 80601 fed a rally into Monday's London open that topped at the 83058 swing high. The NY session faded it as US 10y yields rose to 5.13% on the hawkish-Fed backdrop. Tuesday's Asia low at 81120 held the 78.6% retracement of the Sun-Mon fib and printed a higher low, and price has recovered above the ema20 (~81950) with RSI(14) back near 53, though flat, converged EMAs and the 82200 range cap keep this a range read.

Price has since set a sequence of lower highs, with NY-session selling Monday taking it back below ema20 (~81,910) as the hawkish-Fed, hot-PPI backdrop weighed. Tuesday's Asia session tagged an asia low at 81,120, a near-79% retracement of the rally, before recovering to sit just above the 61.8% fib at 81,540 with RSI(14) near 39.

Monday's rally from the 80,601 Sunday low ran into London open and was rejected at the 83,058 Monday high. It then faded through London and NY in a sequence of lower highs, with last week's hot PPI and retail sales keeping a firm-USD, hawkish-Fed tone in place. The Asia session dipped to 81,120 overnight, near the 78.6% retracement of that impulse, and price now trades around the 61.8% fib at 81,540, below the ema20 (~81,950) and the falling lower-highs trendline, with RSI(14) near 40 and the 80,600–83,060 range still framing the window.
What it said to watch
H1 close above the 82,185 lower high breaks the lower-highs sequence and reopens the 83,058 Monday high
Ema20 near 81,950, aligned with the lower-highs trendline, is the first area to watch for rejection or break
Failure to hold the Tuesday low at 81,120 exposes the Sunday low at 80,600, the range floor
US Housing Starts and Building Permits at 12:30 UTC today could shift the USD tone; Friday's PMIs are the larger risk this week

Pullback inside a 80,600–83,060 range, lower highs since Monday · RSI 43 · price 81,612.12
Lower highs off the 83,057 week high; Sunday–Monday rally retraced to the 61.8% level.
The Sunday-evening rebound from the 80,601 sunday low ran into rejection at the 83,057 week high in early London on Monday. Since then BTC has printed lower highs. NY-open selling dragged price toward 81,640, and Tuesday's Asia session extended the slide to an 81,362 asia low before it settled back near the fib 61.8 of that rally (~81,540). Price now sits below the ema20 (~81,943) and the 82,031 weekly open with RSI(14) near 43, against a hawkish-Fed, firm-USD backdrop left by last week's hot PPI and retail-sales prints.
What it said to watch
Hourly close below the 81,362 asia low puts the 80,601 sunday low back in focus and voids the fib 61.8 hold
Recovery above the ema20 and 82,031 weekly open would break the lower-highs trendline from Monday
US Housing Starts / Building Permits at 12:30 UTC today; a run above 5.13% in US 10y yields adds to the USD headwind
Friday's S&P Global PMIs and UoM inflation expectations are the main event risk for the range
Lower highs since Monday's 83,057 peak inside an 80,600–83,060 range.
Sunday evening's rally from the 80,601 weekend low ran to an 83,057 week high at Monday's London open. It met rejection there and has faded through London and NY, with Monday's lower highs now pinning price under EMA(20) near 82,000 and RSI(14) slipping to the low 40s. Price is sitting on the 50% retracement of that rally around 81,830, just above the 81,643 NY swing low, while the hawkish macro backdrop from last week's hot US PPI and retail sales keeps rebounds contained.
What it said to watch
H1 close below the 81,643 NY swing low exposes the 61.8% retracement near 81,540 and the 80,601 weekend low
Recovery above EMA(20) at 82,000 and the lower-highs line reopens the 82,835 Friday high and 83,057 week high
Tue 12:30 UTC housing starts/permits and Fri 13:45 UTC S&P Global PMIs could shift USD and rate pricing
