🔴 BTC: Are We Looking at a Bull Trap?

Looking at the BTC/USD daily chart, there’s a pattern that has repeated twice over the past few months:

📊 The pattern
Two consecutive ascending channels, each topping out around $82k and $79k, followed by sharp reversals. This structure — rally inside a channel, break of the lower trendline, accelerated drop — is the classic shape of a bull trap: a move that pulls buyers in near the top right before reversing.

⚠️ Where we stand now
BTC recently retested the $79k-81k zone after a strong recovery. The daily RSI is stretched (above 80), which historically tends to precede pauses or corrections — not necessarily a drop, but a signal that the move is overextended.

🎯 What I’m watching, not a recommendation:
• Key support: the $71-72k zone (200-day moving average)
• If price loses that support with force, the bull trap thesis gains more weight
• If price consolidates and the moving average “catches up” to price instead, that weakens the reversal case and favors trend continuation

📌 Important: this is a technical read based on chart pattern, not a certainty. A bull trap is only confirmed after the fact. Manage your risk, use stop losses, and don’t treat this as an entry/exit signal.
