We’re back looking at the #Bitcoin chart. While BTC stays above the 55-day MA (currently at 101,116), we remain overall bullish.

But after years of chart-watching, this doesn't quite look like a top to me: • Lacks symmetry • Had chances to break down, but no real follow-through 🧭 Where are we headed? I think pressure remains, and we could dip toward the 50% retracement of the 2023 move — that’s...
