A break below the lower end of a range is often seen as a sign of intensifying selling pressure, but whether buyers actively step in at the moment of the breakdown can reveal a different market intent.
The spot $BTC price moved outside its previous four-hour trading range, broke below the reference low of $68,523, and closed at $68,191.2.
Trading volume surged to $51.14 million, 2.5 times the previous baseline, with active buys accounting for 59.4%.
Even as the price broke lower, active buy orders maintained the upper hand, indicating strong demand to buy at lower levels during the breakdown. In the short term, the move did not turn into an uncontrolled, one-sided sell-off.
