Record inflows into gold ETFs are still struggling against the pressure of high interest rates. Gold prices are stagnating, and the same forces are weighing on BTC recently—funds are wavering between safety and yield. I expect Bitcoin to remain choppy and probe lower in the short term. At 82548.4, price has pulled back 4.64% from the 1-hour high, while the 4-hour structure remains intact. 80351 is the bulls’ line in the sand, while 83140 is the bears’ defense line. The top-10 order-book bid-to-ask ratio is just 0.39, indicating clear selling pressure. The funding rate of 0.0006% is neutral, and open interest of 30,000 shows that the disagreement remains unresolved. A potential market turn is approaching. Strategy: consider a small short on a rebound to 82965, with a stop at 83480 and a target of 80890. If price retests 80520 and holds, consider going long, with a stop at 79855 and a target of 82230. Keep each position below 5%.
