🧪THE LAB - WEEKLY MARKET DIGEST (28)

Another week, another round of headlines.

The Iran conflict briefly pushed markets lower over the weekend, but BTC recovered quickly once again. The news cycle continues to change by the day, while the chart itself remains largely on track.

For now, we're still treating this as a bottoming process inside a larger range.

A solid week overall. Trade activity remained light, but execution stayed consistent.

BTC continues to recover from the 59k-61k support zone.

The reaction has been constructive so far and buyers continue to defend the area we have been watching for months.

The next resistance sits at:

→ 66k - 67k

Above that:

→ 73k - 74k

The short-term momentum has improved, but we're approaching resistance and would not be surprised to see another period of chop develop.

For now, the larger range remains intact.

The Wyckoff accumulation thesis remains our preferred roadmap.

The market has spent several months building a base after the February selloff, and the recent return to support fits well within that structure.

Could we still see one final sweep lower before a larger recovery begins?

Absolutely.

Nothing has changed there.

The weekly RSI also continues to support the idea that BTC is much further along in the bottoming process than many believe.

INJ remains on the watchlist.

Price continues to consolidate above the 61.8% retracement level following the recent rally.

The structure still looks more like reaccumulation than distribution.

For support zones, entries and trade plans, see The Lab.

One setup on our watchlist is showing improving momentum after developing a bullish divergence near support.

Another continues to build inside a larger accumulation structure and remains one of our preferred charts if market conditions improve.

Full watchlist, levels and execution plans are available inside The Lab Premium.

The headlines remain noisy, but price is starting to tell a different story.

BTC absorbed another round of bad news, held support, and bounced.

Now we watch resistance.

If buyers can continue to reclaim levels, the picture improves quickly. Until then, we still view this as a large range with plenty of chop ahead.
