Bitcoin closed at $68,155 after a volatile session that saw a sharp rally followed by rejection near $68,897. Price remains trapped below all three moving averages: MA(10) near $69,000, MA(20) around $70,250, and MA(30) approaching $71,000. These MAs are still fanning downward in bearish alignment, forming dynamic resistance. The recent candles show attempted bounces but lack conviction, with upper wicks signaling seller presence at every test of the MA(10). The chart structure reveals lower highs since the January peak, with immediate resistance at $70,000 and critical support near the February low around $76,000—though price has already broken well below that level, now testing the $60,000 psychological zone.

Volume spiked significantly during the recent downdraft, confirming heavy selling pressure, but today's modest uptick volume suggests weak follow-through on the bounce attempt. The Long-term PPO (21,34,0) remains deeply negative at approximately -4.0, its most oversold reading since the 2022 bear market, and shows no signs of curling upward yet—indicating sustained bearish momentum on a broader timeframe. The Short-term PPO (5,13,0) is also negative near -0.40 but appears to be flattening after extreme readings, hinting at potential short-term stabilization rather than continuation selling.

The StochRSI (14) oscillates in mid-range territory around 0.5, neither overbought nor oversold, reflecting choppy, indecisive price action after the recent selling exhaustion. This neutral reading suggests neither bulls nor bears have firm control at this juncture. The lack of extreme StochRSI readings aligns with the sideways consolidation pattern forming near current levels, where price is digesting the steep decline but hasn't yet established a clear directional bias for the next move.
