Downtrend, momentum stalling · RSI 49 · price 80,216.66
Lower highs, lower lows since Wednesday's rejection.
BTCUSD topped at 82,669 mid-week and printed a sharp leg lower into the NY session, breaking the 80,000 psych and tagging 79,062 as the week low. Price has since stabilised in a tight 80,000–80,550 consolidation, but each push has been capped below the prior swing at 80,552 with EMA(20) overhead near 81,080. RSI(14) recovering to 48 from oversold reflects pause rather than reversal.
What it said to watch
- H1 close above 80,552 prior swing would neutralise the lower-high sequence
- Loss of 79,536 swing low reopens 79,062 week low
- Reclaim of EMA(20) near 81,080 needed to challenge week high
