Bearish
BTC is currently at 76495, with a short-term bearish bias.

Expectations of a Fed rate hike are weighing on the market, inflation data came in above expectations, and geopolitical tensions remain unstable. The overall environment for risk assets is not favorable.

Price action previously failed to break through 82300, the rebound has remained weak, and there is heavy trapped supply around 78200.

You can wait for a rebound to 77800‑78200 to open a short position, with a stop-loss above 78800. First target the 75000 support; if it breaks, look toward 72000. $BTC

The 78,800 stop-loss is a bit tight—what if there's a wick? But I agree with the direction.

Inflation exceeds expectations + rate hike, the macro backdrop is entirely unfavorable, and technicals are also aligned—one short position.

I've been watching the 77,800–78,200 range for a long time—I'll open a position once it reaches that range.

82300 was tested several times but failed to break through. The bulls are indeed exhausted—follow the shorts.

If 75,000 can’t hold, see you at 72,000; if this level breaks again, it will head into the 60,000s.

There likely won’t be much of a market rally before the rate hike is implemented; the pressure will indeed remain high until those trapped at 78,200 capitulate.

Geopolitics and rate hikes are a double whammy—risk assets are really hard to trade this year. Go short.

First Review
The short setup is clear, and setting the stop-loss at 78800 is reasonable. It’s safer to wait for confirmation of a rebound before entering.
