Downtrend, oversold but no base yet · RSI 26 · price 71,422.34
Lower highs and lower lows since the 81,892 peak.
BTC has printed a steady staircase of lower highs from 81,892 to 74,718 over three weeks. Each bounce has failed below a falling ema20 that sits under the ema50. The latest leg cut through the 72,630 prior low to a fresh swing low at 71,165, with the hot core CPI and persistent spot ETF outflows keeping rallies unsponsored. RSI at 25.8 is oversold, but ATR(14) is holding near 90.6K pips rather than compressing, so the move is extending rather than basing.
Support: 70,000.00
Resistance: 72,630.01, 73,580.07
What it said to watch
Failure to hold the 71,165 swing low exposes the 70,000 psych handle
H4 close back above the 72,630 prior low would mark the breakdown as a false break
A reclaim of the ema20 near 73,580, then a close above the 74,718 lower high, breaks the lower-high sequence
US PPI Fri 13:30 UTC and Fed's Williams at 23:30 UTC tonight could materially shift this read

Lower highs and lower lows since late-October 81.9K peak.
BTC has printed lower highs and lower lows since the 81,893 late-October peak. Each bounce stalled below the EMA(20) and EMA(50), with the 20 under the 50 and both sloping lower. This week the 73,100–74,700 shelf gave way after the hot US CPI, the Nvidia-led tech shock and persistent ETF outflows, leaving a fresh swing low at 71,166 and RSI(14) oversold at 27.5. ATR(14) has lifted to about $922 from $852 a few bars earlier, so ranges are expanding rather than compressing, while the bounce off the 81.1K-71.2K leg has yet to reclaim the 72,630 prior low.
Support: 71,165.63, 70,000.00
Resistance: 72,630.01, 73,802.99, 74,718.71
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 71,166 swing low exposes the 70,000 psych level
Recovery back above the 72,630 prior low would return price to the broken shelf
H4 close above the 74,719 lower high breaks the lower-high sequence and the descending lower highs line
EMA(20) near 73,803 has capped rebounds; a close above it would signal the downtrend losing grip
Fedspeak (Daly, Schmid, Williams) today and US PPI Fri 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read
Lower highs and lower lows since the 81.1K swing high.
BTC has stepped lower from the 81.1K swing high in early November. Lower highs at 76.4K, 75.6K and the 74.7K lower high are capping each bounce, and the latest leg took out the CPI low at 72,630 to print a new swing low at 72,161. Hot CPI and five days of ETF outflows explain the pressure. Price sits below the falling ema20 (74,014) and ema50 (75,235), with ATR near $890 holding steady rather than compressing, and RSI at 30.8 is approaching but not yet oversold.
Support: 70,000.00
Resistance: 72,630.01, 74,013.73
What it said to watch
H4 close back above the 72,630 cpi low would mark the latest break as a failed extension
Failure to hold the 72,161 swing low opens the 70,000 psych level
Close above the ema20 and the 74,718 lower high breaks the lower-highs sequence
Fri 13:30 UTC PPI and today's Fedspeak through Williams could materially shift this read
Lower-high sequence from 81104, price below both EMAs.
BTC has printed successive lower highs since the 81104 peak, at 75597, 75474 and then 74719. That last lower high was rejected twice, and the swing low has stepped down to 72630 on the hot US CPI print, with steady spot-ETF outflows adding to the pressure. Price trades below a falling ema20 (74182) and ema50 (75350), and the EMAs remain bearishly stacked. RSI at 38 sits off the sub-30 CPI dip, while ATR(14) is easing back from its post-CPI expansion.
Support: 72,630.01, 70,000.00
Resistance: 74,182.10, 74,718.71, 75,350.15
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 74719 lower high breaks the lower-high sequence and puts the ema50 at 75350 back in play
Failure to hold the 72630 swing low extends the lower-low structure toward the 70000 psych level flagged in the news
Ema20 at 74182 is the first area to watch for rejection or break on any bounce
Jobless Claims at 13:30 UTC and today's Fedspeak, then Friday's Core PPI at 13:30 UTC, could materially shift this read given crowded bearish positioning
Trendline of lower highs from 75597 caps the structure; a close above it alters the downtrend read
Lower highs and lower lows since the 81,104 peak; tight base 73,000-74,720.
BTC has printed lower highs and lower lows since the 81,104 swing peak. The hot US CPI print drove the leg to the 72,630 cpi low, and price has since chopped in a tight base between the 73,300 range floor and the 74,720 range top, which has capped twice. The base sits under the 23.6% fib of the 81.1K-72.6K leg near 74,630. Price is below both the declining ema20 (74,262) and ema50 (75,429), and the EMA20 is still under the EMA50. ATR has eased from its post-CPI expansion and RSI has recovered from sub-30 to 38.8.
Support: 73,300.00, 72,630.00, 70,000.00
Resistance: 74,262.00, 74,720.00, 75,429.00
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 74,720 range top and the lower highs trendline would break the sequence of lower highs and bring the ema50 at 75,429 into view
Failure to hold the 73,300 range floor and then the 72,630 cpi low extends the lower-low structure toward the 70,000 psych level
US Core PPI YoY tomorrow at 13:30 UTC (f/c 5%) could materially shift this read
Initial Jobless Claims at 13:30 UTC and the Fed speaker slate today (Hammack, Daly, Williams) add event risk to the range edges
Lower highs from 81,104 down to 74,719; latest swing low 72,630.
BTC has carved lower highs and lower lows since the 81,104 peak. Tuesday's hot CPI print drove the latest leg to the 72,630 swing low, and the bounce stalled at the 74,719 lower high, just under the lower-high line. Price holds below a falling ema20 (74,341), which sits under the ema50 (75,507). ATR(14) has expanded to roughly $905 from about $770 earlier in the week, so the move is extending rather than compressing. The one counterpoint is RSI: it printed 29.6 at the CPI low against 26.3 at the 73,443 low, a mild bullish divergence.
Support: 72,630.01, 70,000.00
Resistance: 74,340.75, 74,718.71, 75,506.97
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 74,719 lower high and the ema20 breaks the lower-high sequence
Failure to hold the 72,630 swing low extends the downtrend toward the 70,000 psych level
Reclaiming the ema50 near 75,507 would put price back above the 38.2% fib of the 81.1K-72.6K drop
Thu Jobless Claims and Fed speakers, then Fri Core PPI y/y (f/c 5%), could materially shift this read
