2. Technical Analysis
Multi-Timeframe Chart
Daily Timeframe (Primary Trend)
Bitcoin has broken decisively below the $68,257 daily pivot point, confirming the short-term bearish structure that has been building since the rejection from $74,000 resistance on March 18. The daily RSI at 39.6 is approaching the oversold threshold of 30, which has historically acted as a mean-reversion trigger. The MACD histogram is expanding to the downside, indicating accelerating bearish momentum. All three EMAs (9, 21, 50) are fanning out in bearish alignment with price trading below all three — a textbook bearish stack.
The Bollinger Bands are widening significantly, with the lower band now at approximately $64,500, suggesting the current move has room to extend before a statistical mean-reversion. Volume on down days has been above the 20-day average, confirming institutional distribution rather than retail panic alone.
Hourly Timeframe (Short-Term Structure)
The 1-hour chart shows a sharp acceleration lower beginning around 08:00 UTC, coinciding with the $15 billion in Deribit options expiry and the release of U.S. PCE data. The 1H RSI has reached approximately 18 — deeply oversold territory — which typically precedes at least a short-term bounce. However, oversold conditions can persist in strong downtrends, and the current macro environment (rising oil, Iran war fears, fading Fed cut expectations) argues against a sustained recovery without a catalyst.
Price is now testing the $66,200–$66,500 zone, which represents the lower boundary of the recent 7-day range. A failure to hold this zone opens the door to $64,530 (Pivot S1).
4-Hour Timeframe
The 4H structure shows a clear lower-high, lower-low pattern since March 18. The most recent lower high was formed at $71,100 on March 24, and the current move is testing the March 22 low at approximately $66,200. A breakdown below this level on a 4H close would confirm the bearish trend continuation.
