BTC is now around 76,900. First, the conclusion: I still recognize the direction, but I won’t chase at this level.
This leg went from 62,600 to 79,500 in a straight run—up nearly 19% in three days. Sentiment is all good news: ETFs brought in tens of hundreds of millions of USD in a week, shorts got liquidated burning $4.3 billion, KOL sentiment is pushed to above 8. The spot market still hasn’t flipped into a net-inflow window over the past three hours—all green. None of the 12 candles have turned red. Whale futures positioning has also lifted the longs-to-total ratio to over 66%. Big money really hasn’t left this wave.
But the short-term issues are also obvious. After pulling back from 79,500, the one-hour and four-hour trends are both heading downward, and short-term moving averages are pressing on price. What’s even more worth watching is leverage building up fast: contract open interest rose by nearly 6% in a day. On-chain lending borrowing jumped by 85%+ within twelve hours. In this kind of structure, if capital can’t pass the baton, volatility will expand a lot. Over the most recent 15 minutes, large spot orders have already turned into net outflows, and the active buying side on futures is down to less than 40%.
To put it plainly: there’s nothing wrong with the rise. But after such a big rally, the pullback is not a good deal to chase into. RSI is already at 86—extremely overbought—and even the indicators themselves are warning of short-term correction risk.
So my choice is: wait for the pullback confirmation. See whether price can hold steady around 76,000, and whether spot funding can turn positive again. The risk-reward ratio of getting in then will be much more comfortable than chasing the high right now. The direction isn’t wrong—the only thing that’s off is the timing.
