BTC/USDT:USDT
BTC shows classic rangebound mean-reversion behavior. The 4H drop to 80,482 was swiftly bought up, leaving a strong lower wick, while 15m volume on the rebound is increasing. This indicates absorption of sell pressure by market makers. Expect a short-covering rally back to the 1H 50-EMA zone around 81,300-81,500. Target +2.5% to +3.5%. Invalidated on a confirmed 1H close below 80,450.
Detailed Analysis
Price rejected 4H low at 80,482.10 and bounced to 80,932. 15m candles show higher lows with rising volume on green candles.
Strong bid liquidity exists at the lower range boundary. Sellers are unable to sustain bearish momentum below 80.5k.
Price rotates upward toward 1H resistance at 81.3k as shorts exit and breakout traders re-enter.
A sustained 1H close below 80,450 confirms distribution and invalidates the mean-reversion setup.
