📊 QCP analysis said Bitcoin dipped to about $72.9K, a post-election low, before rebounding to test the $75K level. The move was accompanied by falling futures open interest and negative funding, indicating deleveraging. Options show elevated front-end volatility, mild backwardation, and steeper downside skew, reflecting near-term downside risk. The $75K level is a key inflection point: holding supports risk additions, while a break signals a defensive turn.

📉🤔 $BTC has always retested 200W EMA after losing 100W EMA. 200W EMA currently sits at $68,400.
