BTC · 1H · DOWNTREND
Price has been printing lower highs consistently from the ~67,000 peak in mid-July all the way down to current levels around 62,616. The most recent swing high near 65,250 failed to reclaim the prior high, and price is now pressing into fresh lows on this timeframe. The macro backdrop from the live news flow — BTC briefly sliding below 63,000 tracking an AI stock selloff before a modest bounce — lines up exactly with what I'm reading structurally: this is a weak, tentative bounce in a downtrend, not a reversal. I'm not interested in catching this falling knife long until I see a structure shift. My bias is short on any bounce into resistance.

SHORT SCENARIO
Confirmation
63,250
Rejection at 63,250–63,500 resistance zone with a close back below 63,000 confirms bearish continuation — that zone is where the most recent consolidation broke down from and where sellers should reload.
Invalidation
65,250
Structure breaks above 65,250, the last meaningful lower high — above there the downtrend is invalidated.
Target 1
62,000
Clear prior swing low visible on the chart.
Target 2
61,500
Next structural support visible below that.
Risk/Reward
(63,000 − 62,000) / (63,500 − 63,000) = 2.0:1
Resistance: 63,250–63,500 / 65,250
Support: 62,000 / 61,500
