$BTC just reclaimed 64,700 USDT but the internals look messy. Miners are offloading coins, ETF flows have turned negative, and Strategy keeps adding to a massive position that could become a liquidation magnet. The 64K level has rejected price three times this month. Volume on the bounce is light - retail chasing, not institutions stepping up. If 63,500 USDT breaks, a fast wash toward 60K looks probable. For now, stay nimble and watch the funding rate. $BTC #Bitcoin #BTC #BullRun
