BTC recent trend, since the rally began in early April, has been moving along a steady upward channel with orderly fluctuations, with a clear track of bulls and bears fighting.



Currently, the market has already shown a significant trend deviation, and every technical signal warrants our close attention. Next, let's directly analyze the core market logic.

First, looking at the overall trend structure, previously $BTC relied on the upward channel to steadily climb, with bulls and bears repeatedly tugging around the channel's midline, but now the price has effectively broken below the midline, with bullish momentum gradually fading. The market is beginning to shift toward a weak correction, and the current price is facing a critical test of the lower boundary of the channel, which is also the short-term market's life and death line.

Next, examining the stage highs, after the price surged near 78,328 to set a new high for this phase, it did not continue with strong breakout momentum but instead experienced a rapid pullback. This pattern is essentially a false breakout, most likely a move by the main force to clear high-level stop-loss orders, directly confirming that there is strong selling pressure at the 78,000 level. In the short term, bulls find it difficult to break through this resistance level in one go, and resistance above has already formed.

Focusing on key support levels, 73,300 is an absolute line that must not be broken. This level is not an ordinary support; it is both the previous high point of the market consolidation and the intersection point of the lower boundary of the current upward channel, representing a core area of double technical support. If this level is effectively broken, it means the upward trend since early April has been completely invalidated, and the subsequent downside space will be fully opened, with bulls falling into a passive position.

Finally, looking at technical indicator signals, the MACD shows a strong bearish warning: clear top divergence appears, with the price continuously hitting new highs, but the MACD high points keep decreasing. The divergence between volume, price, and indicators is a typical sign of waning upward momentum; simultaneously, the fast and slow lines form a death cross at high levels, confirming a bearish signal. The energy histogram has also turned below zero and continues to expand downward, indicating that selling pressure is accelerating, and bearish forces are gaining the upper hand.

Overall, in the short term, BTC's bearish momentum is continuously strengthening, and the weak market pattern is unlikely to change. The price is likely to further decline, with a key focus on testing the support around 73,000.

Current market risk is rising sharply. Do not blindly bottom fish; patiently wait for signs of support stabilization. Positioning should strictly follow risk control, keeping a close eye on the critical support at 73,000!

If around 73,000 repeatedly dips and then recovers, it might be the main force trapping the short sellers. Wait for confirmation before getting on board.

I agree with your judgment on the channel midline breakdown; now let's see if the lower boundary can hold. If it doesn't hold, don't try to force it.

MACD divergence + death cross at high levels, short-term is indeed not very friendly, it's safer to reduce positions and wait and see.

It's very detailed, especially the part about double support, which is crucial; but you also need to guard against a single piece of good news directly contradicting the technical aspect.

It's a bit like creating a "top-fishing pullback" pattern at 78,000, making it very uncomfortable to chase the long positions.

This run since April has been too smooth; a pullback to shake things out is normal, but the key is not to break below the structure.

The worst case is when it drops below 73,300 and then fails to rebound; that basically indicates a trend reversal. Don't fight the trend.

Risk control agrees; don't think about bottom-fishing and averaging down at the first dip. It's not too late to consider adding positions once a stabilization pattern appears around 73,000.

Right now, I only care about two things: whether 73,300 holds or not, and whether the rebound can re-establish itself along the main channel axis; otherwise, it's just a weak rebound.

You really need to keep a close eye on this line 73300.
