• 5-day trading range: 80,329–86,702; prices are currently near the midpoint of the range
• Fear & Greed Index: 64 (Greed); market sentiment has remained warm

📌 Market analysis:
After dipping to around 82,200 during the day, prices stabilized and rebounded. The 4-hour chart has posted several consecutive small bullish candles, while buyers and sellers continue to tussle around the 83,000 level. Resistance is near 83,500, while 82,200 is the bulls’ intraday line of defense. Sentiment is in the Greed zone, but prices are not overheated. The short-term outlook is likely to remain range-bound, and a directional move will require support from trading volume.

💡 Summary: Don’t chase prices in a choppy market. Wait for a sustained hold above key levels before looking for a breakout; managing position size matters more than predicting direction.
