Lower highs after $66K-67K rejection, retesting $64K.
BTC ran to a week high near $67,180 mid-week before stalling, then sold off hard into and after the hawkish Warsh-led FOMC, slicing through $65K to retest $64K. Price now sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) in the mid-30s, a sequence of lower highs printing since the $67K peak. The $66K zone capped each bounce attempt and the $64K psych level is the immediate area being tested.

BTC was rejected beneath $66K and dumped to ~$64K through the NY session after the hawkish Warsh-led FOMC and a higher dot plot, slicing below EMA(20) and EMA(50). Price built lower highs off the 67161 week peak before the impulsive flush, and RSI(14) now sits near 35 with the $64K psych level holding the first test. The 65000 handle, broken on the way down, is now the nearest overhead area to watch for rejection or reclaim.

Lower highs since week peak, breaking sub-64K.
BTC topped at the 67,183 week high midweek then carved lower highs, with the 66K level capping repeated attempts. The hawkish Warsh-led FOMC yesterday triggered a sharp NY-session leg down, slicing through 65K and the 61.8% fib at ~65,500 to print 63,835. Price now sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) pressed into the low 30s, the deepest of the week.

Lower high printed, breaking below EMAs.
BTC pushed to a 67,183 week high through Tuesday's NY session then carved a lower high near 66,200 before the FOMC: Warsh's hawkish debut and an upward dot-plot revision triggered a sharp dump from 65,790 down through 64,000 within two bars. Price now sits at 64,241, below both EMAs after losing the 65,500 61.8% fib that capped the rebound, with the 66,000 rejection zone now well overhead. The drop holds just above the 63,835 swing low and the round-number 64,000 support.

BTC tagged 66,187 in the NY session before the FOMC and Warsh's hawkish dot-plot revision triggered a sharp leg down to 63,835, wiping the week's rebound. Price now sits at 64,241 below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) near 36 after the impulse lower. The 66K zone capped the week twice and the 65.5K 61.8% fib is where the bounce stalled.

BTC ran to a 67,180 high mid-window then carved lower highs into a double top before a hawkish FOMC hold accelerated the slide. Price has range-broken below the 65,000 pivot and the 61.8% fib near 65,500, dumping to 64,000 with RSI(14) pressed into the low 30s. Trade sits well below both EMA(20) and EMA(50).

Lower highs since the $67K rejection, back below $65K pivot.
BTC printed a string of lower highs after stalling near the $67K area, and the hawkish FOMC hold (rates 3.75%, dot-plot lifted) capped the rebound. The last two NY-session bars sliced through the $65,000 pivot, dropping price below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) sinking toward oversold. The $65,500 61.8% fib zone that capped the recovery now sits as overhead supply.

BTC rallied from the weekly open near 64,100 to a 67,180 high earlier in the week, then dipped after the Fed held at 3.75% with a higher dot plot and price-stability emphasis. Rebound attempts have stalled below 65,800 and price now sits just under EMA20/EMA50 in a 65,000–66,200 band, with RSI hovering near 48. The latest bar swept down to 64,595 before recovering, leaving structure capped by lower highs.

BTC rallied from the 63,534 week low into Wednesday's 67,183 peak, but has since printed a sequence of lower highs and now hovers around the EMA20 at 65,379. Rebound attempts stalled near the 61.8% fib at 65,500 after the FOMC held at 3.75% with a higher dot plot, and price slipped on the hawkish tilt. The week's structure is consolidating between 65,500 and the 64,550 swing low.

BTC ripped off the 63,534 low into a 67,183 week high mid-window, then rolled into a 64,500–66,200 consolidation as the rally stalled at the 61.8% Fib zone. The latest bar rejected a poke toward 66,187 and slipped back to 65,322, sitting on EMA20 but under EMA50 with RSI flat near 49 — base-building into the FOMC decision.

BTC ripped from the ~63,534 week low to a 67,183 high before stalling, and has since coiled in a 64,500–66,000 range as the market de-risks into the FOMC decision. The 66,000 breakout level has capped recovery attempts with successive lower highs, while the last bar poked the fib pivot near 65,500 and faded back to 65,322.

Pullback from week high, consolidating above WTD low.
BTC spiked into the 66.8K-67.2K supply zone mid-week before fading to a 64.5K WTD low, and has since recovered to chop around the 65K round number. Price sits back above EMA20 but under EMA50, with RSI near 53 — neutral as the market braces for FOMC. A strong US retail sales beat (0.9% vs 0.5%) trimmed cut hopes and kept BTC contained.

The week's impulse off the ~63.5K base peaked at 67.18K before rolling over into a sequence of lower highs; H1 pulled back to retest the 64.5K WTD low overnight then bounced to 65.5K, now sitting just above EMA20 (~65.4K). The 65-67K supply zone continues to cap, with rejection seen on the latest approaches into 66.8K. Price is pinned around 65K into the FOMC after a hot US retail sales print (0.9% vs 0.5%) reinforced a hawkish-Fed read.

BTC rallied off the mid-week swing low near 63.5K into the 65-67K supply zone, stalled at the 67.1K week high, then drifted back to the WTD low near 64.5K before recovering to circle 65.5K into FOMC. Price is reclaiming EMA(20) but sits below EMA(50) with RSI(14) back near 52 after basing out; a strong US retail sales print (0.9% vs 0.5%) kept a hawkish-Fed backdrop in play.

The week's pivot at 65,000 has now flipped to a cap, and price is hovering at the 61.8% retracement of the 63,534-67,183 advance after rejection at the 65,500 rebound zone.

BTC peaked at 67183 midweek and has carved lower highs since, slipping below $65K on pre-Fed de-risking after a hot US retail sales print (0.9% vs 0.5%). Price trades below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) in the mid-40s; the NY-session bounce off 64360 has reclaimed the $65K line but is stalling into the 65500 fib pivot.

The midweek rally to 67.2K has faded into a string of lower highs, with price slipping below the 65000 psych line on pre-Fed de-risking after the hot US retail sales print firmed the dollar. The rebound stalled at the 65500 61.8% fib pivot twice, while demand has stepped in around the 64359 swing low.

Price now sits at the lower end near 65350, slipping back below EMA(20) with RSI(14) drifting into the low 40s, and is testing the 50% retrace of the week's impulse.

Price has since carved a 65300–65980 range and sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI(14) hovering in the mid-40s. The 65980 prior high has capped the latest bounce while demand has stepped in twice around 65200.

BTC rallied from Monday's $63.5K low to a $67.2K mid-week high before fading, and has spent the last two days chopping in a $65.2K–$66.1K range below EMA20 with RSI(14) cycling around the midline. The $66.8K–$67.2K zone capped two attempts after rotation into alts drained fresh fuel. Price is now pinned near $65.6K in wait-mode ahead of the FOMC dot plot.

Lower highs off week high, holding above 65.2K shelf.
BTC rallied from Monday's 63.4K open to a 67.18K week high midweek, with the sharpest leg arriving in the NY session, before stalling and setting successive lower highs into 66.8K. Price has since slipped under EMA20/EMA50 and is now consolidating around 65.7K, holding the 65.2K swing low after a flush. RSI(14) near 47 marks the loss of upside momentum, having diverged against the latest highs.

The bounce off the 65,218 swing low has stalled just under EMA20 and RSI(14) is mid-range, reflecting the thin conviction flagged by mixed ETF flows. Supply has capped two attempts near 66,800 since the peak.

BTC ran from Monday's ~63,400 open to a 67,160 week high before fading, and has since chopped in a 65,340–66,000 band as conviction thins into today's FOMC. The 66,800 prior high has rejected attempts on the way down, and price now sits near the 38.2% retracement of the week's impulse, hugging a flattening EMA(20). RSI(14) has cooled toward the mid-40s as the tape decoupled from the soft US data run.

Lower highs since peak, consolidating.

Since the peak price has carved lower highs and settled into a 65200–66100 consolidation, now trading just under EMA20 with RSI(14) cycling in the mid-40s.

Lower highs off the week high, consolidating mid-65k.
BTC ran ~4% off the 63,500 base into a 67,183 week high as macro relief — softer US PPI, the US-Iran deal and the oil slide — lifted risk appetite, then the three-day run stalled ahead of the Fed. Price has since rolled over into lower highs and is consolidating in the mid-65,000s, slipping back below EMA(20). RSI(14) has cooled toward the mid-40s as the pullback works the 65,400 swing-low zone.

BTC opened the week near 63,500 and ran ~6% to a 67,180 high as the US-Iran relief and collapsing oil eased inflation fears.

Demand stepped in at 65,218 to hold the most recent pullback, keeping the broader rising structure intact for now.

Price sits under both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with a string of lower highs printing since the peak, and RSI(14) has cooled into the mid-40s.
