📉 Current Technical Picture
📍 Support Zones
• $66,500 – $68,500: key short-term support area.

📍 Resistance Levels
• $72,000 – $72,500: near-term resistance cluster where sellers have repeatedly rejected price.
• $75,000+: if this zone breaks, next upside barriers around $76,500 and higher.
📊 Indicators
• RSI near oversold: suggests selling pressure, but possible short-term bounce if buyers step in.
• Failed breakouts above key resistance indicate bears are still active.
