5 YEARS AGO TODAY, Bitcoin touched its historic $69,000 ATH during the 2021 bull run.
Today, $BTC is trading around $74K and the market feels very different.
But here's something interesting...
Everyone seems focused on the downside.
$73K is becoming the level everyone is watching. Analysts are warning about another major breakdown, ETF outflows remain a concern, and traders are approaching today's US CPI with caution.
But what if Bitcoin surprises the crowd?
Today's CPI could become an important catalyst.
Market expectations:
• Headline CPI: 0.3%
• Core CPI: 0.2%
My contrarian scenario:
If inflation comes in cooler than expected and BTC reclaims the $75.5K–$76.5K resistance zone, we could see short sellers getting trapped.
That could open the door for a recovery toward $77K–$78K.
However, I'm not ignoring the downside.
A confirmed breakdown below $73K would weaken this bullish scenario significantly.
I'm more interested in watching how BTC reacts than blindly following the crowd.
Sometimes the biggest opportunity comes when the market is positioned in one direction and price decides to move the other way.
What is your CPI expectation?
BULLISH or BEARISH?
