📰 NEWS DRIVERS:

🔮 SCENARIOS:
• Bullish: Daily close above $83,342 (SMA20) with volume → $84.5k → $87.4k
• Bearish: Lose $81.5k → $79.5k → $73k in play
• Base case: Chop between $80k–$84k into the FOMC
⚖️ BIAS: NEUTRAL with a cautious tilt — bulls need to reclaim the 20-day average first. Waiting for the FOMC catalyst before taking size.
⚠️ Not financial advice. DYOR.
