$BTC was nearly flat over the most recent full hour: -0.01%. Over a longer window, it was down 0.76% over 24 hours, while hourly trading volume was only 0.47 times the median of the previous 20 full hours. Among the 12 contract samples collected during the same period, 4 rose and 8 fell, with weakness more concentrated across the majority of samples (this sample includes only contracts that met the trading-volume threshold this time and does not represent the entire market).
Price boundaries are taken from the most recent full-hour candlestick: a high of 85559.5, a low of 85357.2, and a close of 85501.1. Continuation can only be considered if a subsequent hourly close moves above 85559.5 alongside a recovery in trading volume; if it closes below 85357.2, this round of hourly consolidation is considered invalidated. Lower trading volume only indicates reduced trading activity; it does not imply that traders are exiting or that there are no buyers.
Should we wait for trading volume to recover before confirming the range boundaries?
