The lower boundary broke first; the upper boundary was never touched

The weekend left Monday with two levels to watch: 76,250 above and 75,580 below. Let’s go through them in order. The upper level wasn’t reached: today’s high of 76,095 came on the candle that opened at 00:00, $155 short of 76,250, and price never came back. The lower level broke first, then price tried to reclaim it: at 04:00, the candle still closed at 75,743, with 75,580 intact. At 05:00, a single candle saw $180 million in volume—about 15 times the previous hour’s—and plunged to a low of 73,510, breaking through both 75,580 and 75,500. A rebound at 07:00 reached 75,734, then another test at 10:00 hit 75,599; both only briefly took price back above 75,580. The 11:00 candle closed at 74,852, and by midday price could no longer reclaim the level.

Prices:
Bitcoin 74,126, down 2.36% in 24h; today’s high 76,095 / low 73,510;
Ethereum 2,108, down 5.75% in 24h, underperforming Bitcoin by about 3.4 percentage points; today’s high 2,244 / low 2,060;
Binance Coin 681, down 2.27% in 24h; today’s high 699 / low 673.

All three major coins hit their highs today at 00:00. This wasn’t a divergence—they all stepped down from the 76,000 range together. Total crypto market cap is $2.47 trillion, down 5.06% in 24h, a steeper drop than Bitcoin’s. Bitcoin dominance rose to 60.2%; smaller coins took a harder hit.

Additional information: Around $745 million in futures positions were liquidated within an hour of midnight, consistent with the high-volume candle at 05:00. This wasn’t a slow grind down.

This morning, we asked whether tonight would see 73,500 hold or another attempt at 75,000. So far, price hasn’t reclaimed 75,000 once this afternoon, and it hasn’t retested the 73,500 low either. Which side are you on?
