23:47 UTC

Downtrend, lower highs since 80851 · RSI 31 · price 79,953.95

Lower-high sequence; 79991 prior low broken in late Sunday trade.

Lower highs from the 80851 session high capped price through the second half of Sunday. The 23:15 UTC flush broke the 79991 prior low and set a session low at 79779, with RSI(14) near 31. Price is back under 80000, the 80236 wick high is the first cap overhead, and no BTC-specific news is driving the move with the US calendar dark.

Support: 79,779.14

Resistance: 79,990.91, 80,235.64, 80,621.21

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 79991 prior low would mark the breakdown as a false break
  • Failure to hold the 79779 session low extends the lower-low sequence
  • Recovery through the 80621 lower high and the descending trendline neutralises the downtrend read
  • Tue US Durable Goods and Wed FOMC (18:00 UTC) sit beyond this window but frame the USD backdrop

23:32 UTC

Downtrend, fresh leg lower · RSI 28 · price 79,789.13

Lower highs since 80,955; prior 79,991 low and 80,000 psych broken.

Sunday's lower-high chain (80,955, then 80,851, then 80,621) resolved lower into the early Monday Asia session. A roughly $576 bar at 23:15 UTC cleared the 79,991 prior low and the 80,000 psych level, and price is sitting at the 24h low with RSI(14) near 28. It was a weekend tape with the US calendar dark, so the decline reads as crypto-native rather than macro-driven.

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 80,000 psych level reclaims the prior low and weakens the breakout read
  • Price held below the 80,280 breakdown level keeps the lower-highs trendline from 80,851 intact
  • Extension under the 24h low leaves the 79,500 round number as the next reference
  • Decline fib from 80,851: 38.2% sits near 80,195, the zone where a bounce would meet supply
  • Next USD catalysts are Tuesday's Durable Goods and Wednesday's FOMC; none fall inside the next few hours

23:17 UTC

Lower highs since the Sunday afternoon peak, drifting lower · RSI 41 · price 80,306.56

Lower-high sequence inside the 79,991–80,955 day range.

Thin weekend trade with no fresh macro input. Since the 80,851 swing high, price has printed a lower-high sequence, and the late dip to the 80,112 spike low recovered only to the 80,621 spike high before rejection. Price now sits on the 80,280 swing low and the 61.8% level of the day rally fib from the 79,991 day low, with RSI(14) at ~41 and price below both EMAs.

What it said to watch

  • A break of the 80,280 swing low and the 61.8% fib exposes the 80,112 spike low, then the 79,991 day low
  • A close above the 80,514 lower high and the descending lower-highs trendline from 80,851 breaks the lower-high sequence; the 80,621 spike high is next above
  • No calendar risk in the next 8h. Tuesday's US data and Wednesday's FOMC are the next macro inputs that could shift this read

23:05 UTC

Sideways, lower highs over higher lows · RSI 43 · price 80,379.48

Compressing weekend range 79,991–80,955.

Weekend chop inside 79,991–80,955: the 22:00 UTC bar spiked from the late low at 80,112 to the 80,621 spike high, retracing ~70% of the swing high–late low drop, then faded to 80,380. That is a rejection below the 80,851 swing high, with RSI(14) near 43 and price under both EMAs. Higher lows off the 79,991 day low against stepping-down highs keep the range compressing into the Asia session.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 80,112 late low breaks the higher lows and exposes the 79,991 day low / 80k psych
  • M15 close above the 80,621 spike high reopens the 80,851 swing high
  • US calendar dark until Tue Durable Goods; Wed FOMC is the main macro risk via the dollar

22:47 UTC

Range, lower highs broken by reopen spike · RSI 51 · price 80,464.39

Lower-high sequence from 80851 ended in a sweep to 80112, then a sharp reversal through the descending line.

Thin weekend trade held a 79991 day low to 80955 day high range. Sunday's lower-high leg from the 80851 swing high ended in a sweep to 80112. The 22:00 UTC reopen spike then broke the lower-high line, but sellers capped it at the 80621 spike high. Price is now parked near the 50% fib around 80480, sitting on EMA20/50 with RSI(14) neutral at about 51.

Support: 80,111.78, 79,990.91

Resistance: 80,621.21, 80,850.96, 80,954.85

What it said to watch

  • Holding the 80300 retest low keeps the lower-high line break intact; losing it reopens the 80112 sweep low and the 79991 day low
  • An M15 close above the 80621 spike high opens the 80851 swing high and the 80955 day high
  • Monday's Asia session brings the first non-weekend liquidity; Tue Durable Goods (12:30 UTC) and Wed FOMC (18:00 UTC) are the macro risks against a firm-USD backdrop

22:32 UTC

Sideways, two-way weekend rotation · RSI 47 · price 80,441.41

Contracting range: lower highs vs higher lows inside 80,000–80,950.

Thin weekend trade has rotated inside 80,000–80,950, compressing between lower highs off 80,955/80,851 and higher lows from 79,991/80,112. The latest drop from the 80,851 lower high hit an 80,112 spike low at the Sunday-evening reopen, then rebounded to an 80,621 spike high that was rejected. Price now sits between the fib 38.2 at 80,394 and the fib 50 at 80,481, with RSI(14) neutral near 47.

What it said to watch

  • A close above the 80,621 spike high would break the lower highs line and put 80,851 back in play
  • Failure to hold the 80,112 spike low breaks the higher lows line and exposes the 79,991 swing low and the 80,000 psych level
  • Acceptance above the fib 50 at 80,481 would shift the read toward a fuller retracement of the drop
  • Early Asia session liquidity is thin and the USD calendar is dark until Tue Durable Goods at 12:30 UTC; FOMC Wed 18:00 UTC is the next macro catalyst

22:17 UTC

Range-bound, short-term lower highs · RSI 40 · price 80,351.51

Lower highs from the 80,955 day high; 80,112 swing low sits above the 79,991 day low.

Thin weekend trade held a 79,991–80,955 range with no BTC-specific news. The evening leg slid from the 80,851 lower high to an 80,112 swing low. A spike bar then wicked to 80,621 above the 61.8% retrace and was rejected, leaving price near 80,350 under both EMAs with RSI(14) around 40 as the Asia session opens.

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 80,440 ema20 and the 80,621 spike high breaks the evening lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold the 80,112 swing low exposes the 79,991 day low and the 80,000 handle
  • Lower-high trendline off 80,955/80,851 caps the range top near 80,800
  • No US data in the next 8h. Tue Durable Goods and Wed FOMC (f/c 4%) are the next macro inputs.

22:05 UTC

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since 80851 · RSI 29 · price 80,199.68

Lower-high/lower-low chain; 80300 floor broken late Sunday.

BTC has carved lower highs off the 80851 afternoon peak and broke the 80300 breakdown shelf at 21:45 UTC. That leg printed a fresh session low at 80112, with RSI(14) near 29 and the 79991 24h low the next reference below. With no BTC-specific news and the US calendar dark over the weekend, this looks like crypto-native drift. Firm USD into Wednesday's FOMC is only a mild background headwind.

Support: 80,111.78, 79,990.91

Resistance: 80,300.00, 80,430.42, 80,536.31

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back above the 80300 breakdown level, then the 80430 lower high, breaks the lower-high chain and the descending trendline.
  • A clean break of the 79991 24h low extends the lower-low sequence beyond Saturday's range.
  • Holding the 80112 session low with RSI(14) basing below 30 would mark a pause in the leg.
  • A stall below the 80536 swing high on any rebound keeps the lower-high structure intact.
  • No US data until Tue Durable Goods (12:30 UTC); the Wed FOMC statement is the main macro risk to this read.

21:47 UTC

Downtrend, lower highs since 17:15 UTC · RSI 29 · price 80,232.64

Lower-high/lower-low chain off the 80,851 swing high, last bar closing on its low.

Weekend trade has rolled over from the 80,851 swing high. The selloff has printed a steady lower-high/lower-low sequence, and the last bar closed on its low at 80,232 with RSI(14) near 29. Price is now past the 61.8% retracement of the 79,991 day low to 80,851 move, with the 80,163 swing low just below. Macro is quiet, so the move reads as crypto-native flow.

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close above the 80,433 lower high breaks the lower-high chain
  • Failure at the 80,163 swing low, near the 78.6% fib, exposes the 79,991 day low and the 80,000 round number
  • US calendar dark until Tue Durable Goods (12:30 UTC); FOMC Wed 18:00 UTC is the main macro risk

21:32 UTC

Intraday pullback, lower highs since 17:15 UTC · RSI 36 · price 80,413.44

Lower-high sequence inside 79,991–80,955 weekend range.

Thin Sunday trade has given back most of the 79,991–80,851 rebound. Price has posted lower highs since the 17:15 UTC swing high and now sits at the fib 50% near 80,420, after the 80,305 swing low tagged the 61.8% area. RSI(14) is around 36, below both EMAs, and the US calendar is dark ahead of Wednesday's FOMC.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 80,305 swing low exposes the 80,164 prior low and the 79,991 24h low
  • Recovery above the 80,536 lower high breaks the descending sequence and reopens the 80,851 swing high, with the 80,955 24h high above it
  • Monday's Asia session open could expand the weekend range

21:17 UTC

Short-term downtrend inside a 24h range · RSI 42 · price 80,369.49

Lower highs and lower lows since the 80,851 rebound high; price at the 50–61.8% retracement of that leg.

Sunday's rebound from the 79,991 day low stalled at the 80,851 rebound high at 17:15 UTC. A lower-high, lower-low sequence has since pulled price back to 80,370, between the 50% (80,421) and 61.8% (80,319) retracement of the rebound leg, with RSI(14) near 42 and price under both EMAs. It is weekend trade with no macro inputs, so crypto-native flows are driving.

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 80,339 recent low and the 61.8% at 80,319 exposes the 80,164 swing low; below that, the 79,991 day low comes back into play
  • A close back above the 80,536 lower high breaks the lower-high chain and reopens the 80,851 rebound high, with the 80,955 day high beyond it
  • Nothing is scheduled in the next 8h; the first US macro input is Durable Goods on Tue 12:30 UTC, ahead of the FOMC on Wed 18:00 UTC

21:06 UTC

Intraday pullback, lower highs since 80851 · RSI 34 · price 80,382.48

Lower-high chain from 80851, last higher low at 80421 broken.

Thin weekend trade with no macro input. The afternoon rally stalled at the 80851 swing high, short of the overnight 80955 peak, and has since printed a steady lower-high sequence. Price broke the 80421 higher low, the broken low, and now sits between the 50% and 61.8% fib of the 79991-80851 move, just above the 80339 intraday low.

Support: 80,338.53, 80,163.72, 79,990.91

Resistance: 80,421.43, 80,536.31, 80,850.96

What it said to watch

  • A close back above 80421 broken low and the lower-highs trendline near 80420 negates the pullback read; 80536 lower high is the next cap.
  • Failure to hold the 80339 intraday low and the 61.8% fib at ~80320 exposes the 80164 swing low and the 79991 24h low.
  • Asia session open as the new week starts may lift range from thin weekend levels; ATR runs at roughly $88 per bar.
  • Fed decision Wed Oct 28 18:00 UTC and Tue US data (Durable Goods 12:30 UTC) are the next macro catalysts.
