Zoom out and the structure is clear: 125K → 82K → 98K → 62K → 79K → 43K • Progressive lower highs • Repeated support taps • Clean channel compression This isn’t random volatility — it’s a structured descending channel. Inside the channel: • Rallies fail below prior highs • Selloffs sweep support liquidity • Volatility compresses • Momentum weakens into support That’s controlled distribution, not chaos. But compression doesn’t last forever. If price breaks and accepts above the upper boundary: • Lower-high structure invalidates • Shorts lose control • Momentum shifts to expansion • Overhead liquidity becomes fuel Key: A wick isn’t enough. We need a close above, a strong retest, HH + HL structure, and expanding volume. Until then, it’s still a channel. Compression → Break → Expansion. Watch the boundary. That’s where structure turns into momentum. $BTC #Bitcoin #Crypto
