BTC · 1H · SIDEWAYS
The short setup from my last read is still alive but untriggered — price never reached the 84,000–84,400 zone needed to launch the rejection, and the high since that read was only 82,757. What's changed is that price has now flushed lower from that mid-range position, dropping to 80,800 before bouncing back to 81,828 where it sits now. That flush did not take out the 79,800 swing low, so the range boundaries remain intact: 79,800 below, 84,000–84,400 above. I'm not taking either side from the middle — I'm in the same position I was yesterday, watching from the edges and waiting for price to deliver a clean structural trigger. The prior short setup remains valid in structure, but the trigger zone is still 2,000+ points away, and I'm not chasing.
SHORT (CONDITIONAL) SCENARIO
Confirmation
84,000
On a rally to the 84,000–84,400 zone, a 1H close back below 83,500 confirms the rejection.
Invalidation
85,000
Touch of 85,000 — above the zone and through the resistance band; the rejection thesis is void.
Target 1
81,000
The pivot level visible on the recent bounce structure, with the 79,351 liquidation cluster just below acting as the true magnet; I'm not placing the target inside it, so 81,000 is the waypoint and the cluster does the heavy lifting.
Target 2
79,800
The swing low on this chart; full flush re-test if 81,000 fails, the 79,351 liquidation cluster positioned just above the swing low makes this a credible extended target.
Risk/Reward
(83,500 – 81,000) / (85,000 – 83,500) = 2,500 / 1,500 = 1.7:1
Resistance: 83,500 / 84,000–84,400
Support: 81,000 / 79,800 / 79,351
