BTC · 1H · DOWNTREND
My previous short read hit Target 1 at 75,000 — that move is complete. A completed target is not a reason to reload in the same direction from a worse price. Price has since bounced from the 75,000 area back to 76,528, which puts it exactly in the middle of the 75,000–77,000 structural zone — no clean entry, no edge. The structure from the Sep 4 highs is still a sequence of lower highs, so the larger bias stays bearish, but I'm not chasing a mid-range short when the last leg already spent itself reaching the target. I'm waiting for price to reassert the downtrend with a fresh break below 75,000 before I'm involved again.
The negative funding at -0.0075% tells me shorts are crowded right now — longs are being paid. That's a squeeze warning on any short I'd take here, and it's another reason I'm not reaching for a mid-range entry. The liquidation cluster at 76,749 is sitting just above current price; a short-side squeeze could sweep that level before any continuation lower. Below, the nearest dense cluster is 68,755 — that is the structural magnet a clean 75,000 breakdown targets. 72,000 is a waypoint inside that move, not a destination.

SHORT SCENARIO
Confirmation
75,000
1H close below 75,000 — breaks the structural floor that held during the prior target hit and confirms the lower-high sequence is extending; 72,000 is a visible waypoint inside this move but not the target.
Invalidation
78,600
1H close above 78,600 — reclaims the resistance shelf capping every meaningful bounce since early September and breaks the lower-high sequence.
Target 1
68,755
Dense liquidation cluster below; 6,245 points from confirmation against 3,600 to invalidation.
Target 2
65,000
Next visible structural zone on this chart below the cluster.
Resistance: 76,749 / 78,600
Support: 75,000 / 68,755
