Not Getting Pushed Back
Yesterday BTC arrived at $73K resistance. Today it didn't get pushed back.
This matters more than it seems. When price hits resistance, two things usually happen. Either it gets rejected immediately, or it sticks and grinds.
Immediate rejection means weakness. Sticking means buyers are absorbing the sell wall.
Today was the latter. Dipped to $72,556 but recovered quickly. Didn't spend much time below $73K.
Volatility Compression = Next Big Move
Range was $72.5K-$73.8K. Just 1.7% wide.
A market that was swinging between $66K-$72K a few days ago just went quiet. This pattern has a name in technical analysis. Volatility compression before expansion.
Direction is still unknown. Up means $75K-$78K. Down means $70K retest.
But statistically, spending time consolidating at resistance rather than getting rejected is bullish. If it were weak, it would have been pushed down already.
This weekend matters.
