Evening. BTC $77,472
The bearish thesis from the morning didn't play out: Asia pulled BTC higher, and price added roughly $950 from yesterday's close.
What changed since morning:
- $77,385 (PDH) was broken and held above - resistance worked as a target, not a stop
- $76,107 was never tested at all, sellers didn't gain control
- Timeframe structure is mixed: 2 bullish out of 4, pressure partially relieved
Session dynamics:
Asia drove the main move of the day - bias +0.74%, closing at $77,283. London spent the day ranging with a 1.24% range, closing at $77,455. NY is also flat so far: price holding inside the first-hour range with no clear direction.
Onchain / derivatives:
Funding is moderately rising for the third day, no overheating. OI declined - a portion of longs was flushed in a cascade of around $74M, cleaning up positioning. Coinbase is trading at a discount to Asian exchanges: Western demand isn't chasing the move. Deribit put/call 0.67 - calls dominating for the fifth consecutive day; the gap between options positioning and price is starting to narrow - this is the first day price is moving toward them.
Wednesday closes as the first real green day of the week: the move is there, Fear & Greed at 27, buyers remain cautious.
Not investment advice.

BTC $77,562
1H▲ 4H▼ 1D▲ 1W▼
For five days calls dominated while price was lower - yesterday the market finally moved in their favor: +1.6% and a break above PDH $77,826. The gap between options positioning and price has started to close, but BTC is currently trading right inside the CME gap zone ($77,470-$77,705), which opened this morning.
L/S dropped from 1.48 to 1.24 - some accumulated longs exited or got cut. Futures volume at 9.2x vs spot suggests the move up was driven by derivatives, not real demand. Goldman sold crypto ETFs worth $1B+, but that's already priced in - more importantly, funding remains neutral, no overheating yet.
📍 Key levels:
$77,826 - resistance, PDH = Weekly High. A close above opens the path to $79K
$77,470-$77,705 - CME gap zone. Price is inside it right now
$76,881 - support, Monthly Open. Losing this level returns price to the old range
Scenario: ⬆️ Bullish - consolidation above $77,826 with rising OI confirms continuation
Invalidation: return below $77,470 and loss of Monthly Open $76,881

Evening. BTC $77,285
Morning long thesis did not confirm: Asia provided the impulse, London cut it, NY trading without direction.
What changed since morning:
- BTC lost ~$277 from the morning level - downside move came through London, not NY
- Timeframe structure deteriorated: 2 bearish out of 4 vs. 1 bearish this morning, pressure remains
- Derivatives overheating thesis partially confirmed: longs liquidated in cascade up to $72M, OI contracted
Session dynamics:
Asia closed at $77,889 with a +0.50% bias - session printed the daily high. London reversed price lower with a range of nearly 2%, closing at $77,259. NY trading in a narrow range, price inside the first-hour range - no clean scenario developed.
Onchain / derivatives:
OI declined alongside price - long cascade cleaned up positioning, no funding overheating on Hyperliquid. Coinbase trading at a discount to Asian exchanges for the third consecutive day: Western demand is not picking up the move. Deribit put/call 0.68 - calls still dominant, options market maintains an upside bias even with price below the weekly open levels. CME gap $77,470-$77,705 remains unfilled - price trading below it, keeping it in focus for tomorrow.
Thursday: Asia bought, London sold, NY is standing still - the day gave back most of the overnight gains.

Yesterday the bullish scenario failed: price pulled back from $78,180 and is now trading below PDH, unable to hold above it. The key event was a long liquidation cascade of ~$72M with OI dropping 1.4%. Longs got wiped out, but L/S is still 1.25 - positioning has not reset.
Calls on Deribit continue to dominate (put/call 0.68 since evening), the options market has not removed its upside bet. Meanwhile, futures volume is 10.7x spot - moves are derivatives-driven, with no real demand underneath. If longs are accumulating again after the liquidations, the next cascade could be more severe.
📍 Key levels:
$78,180 - resistance, PDH = Weekly High. A close above changes the picture
$76,985 - support, Monthly Open. Loss of this level opens the path to $76,107
$76,107 - support, Weekly Low. A break puts the next area of interest at $74,500
Scenario: ⬇️ bearish - longs did not exit after liquidations, pressure remains; expecting a break of $76,985

Asia closed at $77,408 with a slight downward bias - set the tone for the day. London extended the move lower, range 1.3%, closing at $76,791. NY continued the decline: first hour delivered a break of the range low with sustained hold below - session remains in bearish mode.

Evening. BTC $75,600
What changed since morning:
- L/S 1.56 failed to hold as support: cascading long liquidations of $109M hit during the Asian session
- Current $75,600 is above morning's $75,389, but this is a bounce within a down day, not a reversal
Session dynamics:
Asia set the tone: bias -1.49%, close at $74,609 - the main flush happened overnight. London stabilized, range 1.91%, close at $75,520 - effectively flat. NY broke the first-hour high and held above it, close at $75,620 - local dip-buy following the overnight decline.
Onchain/derivatives:
Funding on Hyperliquid turned negative - shorts are paying, no overheating on either side. OI declined alongside liquidations: positions were flushed out, not accumulated. Coinbase is again trading at a discount to Asian exchanges - Western demand is not picking up. Deribit put/call 0.70 holds for the second day: calls dominate while price sits below the weekly open levels - the options market maintains an upside bias despite price action, keeping this on my radar.
Saturday played out under Asian session pressure - NY partially bought the dip, price closes the day near daily highs, structure remains bearish.

Weekly summary · 18.05 – 24.05.2026
BTC
Open $78,148 → Close $76,752 (-1.8%)
High $78,600 · Low $74,290
Market context
BTC dominance 58.1%
Total market cap $2.63T
Fear & Greed 25
Market
BTC dropped 1.8% on the week, printing a low of $74,290 before recovering to close near $76,752 — the range held but failed to produce any meaningful bid above $78,000. Dominance slipped 1.1% to 58.1%, suggesting mild capital rotation out of BTC without a clear alt bid forming. Total market cap sits at $2.63T with Fear & Greed at 25, a reading that historically precedes either capitulation or a sharp short squeeze — neither of which is confirmed yet.
The structure heading into next week is fragile: no trend break, no volume catalyst, and sentiment still pressing lows.
Next week focus
— $74,290 is the key weekly low; a daily close below it opens a measured move toward $71,500–$72,000, where the next significant volume cluster sits
— $78,600 (weekly high) acts as immediate resistance; reclaim on volume would shift short-term bias back to neutral and put $81,000 back in play
— Watch U.S. PCE data (Friday, May 29) — a hot print raises real-rate pressure on risk assets and increases the probability of BTC retesting the weekly low within the same session

Fear & Greed 25
Market
BTC dropped 1.8% on the week, printing a low of $74,290 before recovering to close near $76,752 — the range held but failed to produce any meaningful bid above $78,000. Dominance slipped 1.1% to 58.1%, suggesting mild capital rotation out of BTC without a clear alt bid forming. Total market cap sits at $2.63T with Fear & Greed at 25, a reading that historically precedes either capitulation or a sharp short squeeze — neither of which is confirmed yet.
The structure heading into next week is fragile: no trend break, no volume catalyst, and sentiment still pressing lows.
Next week focus
— $74,290 is the key weekly low; a daily close below it opens a measured move toward $71,500–$72,000, where the next significant volume cluster sits
— $78,600 (weekly high) acts as immediate resistance; reclaim on volume would shift short-term bias back to neutral and put $81,000 back in play
— Watch U.S. PCE data (Friday, May 29) — a hot print raises real-rate pressure on risk assets and increases the probability of BTC retesting the weekly low within the same session
