Market Summary

BTC is in a clear bearish trend on the 4h timeframe, with strong downside momentum and price below all key moving averages. However, a bullish MACD histogram divergence at recent lows suggests potential for a short-term bounce, making the short setup require patience for a retest of resistance.

Market State

4h trend is bearish (ADX 33.8, -DI > +DI, EMA9<EMA20, price below Ichimoku cloud). Momentum is bearish but showing early signs of weakening, with MACD histogram rising from deeply negative levels. The main driver over recent days has been sustained selling pressure.

Key Levels

• Resistance: 62000, 62400
• Support: 60780, 60000

Scenarios

Bullish Scenario A bullish reversal would require price to break above the 62400 resistance and hold above the Ichimoku cloud. The bullish MACD divergence on 4h could fuel a bounce toward 62400 and potentially 63200 if volume increases. Confirmation would be a 4h close above 62000 with RSI rising above 50. Currently, the bearish trend structure argues against this.

Bearish Scenario Continued downside is favored, targeting support at 60780 first. A break below 60780 would open the door to 60000 and then the June 5 low near 59130. The bearish alignment of EMAs, Supertrend, and ADX trend strength supports this. However, the divergence warns of a possible pullback before the next leg down.

Current Lean Bearish with moderate conviction. The 4h MACD histogram divergence (from -401 to -28) provides a counter-argument, but the overall trend structure and momentum indicators remain bearish. A break above 62000 would shift the lean neutral.

Trade Setup

• Direction: SHORT
• Entry Zone: $61600–$61800 (swing entry near resistance)
• Stop Loss: $62250 — above the recent swing high at $62272 and the 4h Ichimoku resistance
• Targets: T1: $60800 | T2: $60000 | T3: $59130
• R/R: (61700-60800)/(62250-61700) = 900/550 = 1.64:1
• Confidence: Medium

Risks

• Invalidation: A 4h close above $62250 breaks the bearish structure and would invalidate the short thesis.
• Warning: The bullish MACD divergence on 4h could trigger a sharper bounce, so position size should be conservative and consider scaling in.
