What are your thoughts on BTCUSD's current consolidation phase? I'm observing a relatively tight range, with price action hovering around the 67400 level. The RSI(14) is showing a slightly bullish signal, but it's not yet decisive. Interested to hear opinions on potential breakout directions and targets.

Further to my previous comments, I've been analyzing the Bollinger Bands on the hourly chart. The bands appear to be tightening, suggesting a potential volatility expansion on the horizon. However, the overall trend still seems somewhat unclear. I'm currently considering a straddle strategy, buying both call and put options with strike prices near the current market price. This would allow me to profit regardless of which direction the price moves, as long as the move is significant enough to offset the cost of the options. Thoughts on this approach, considering the current market conditions?
Update: I'm also keeping an eye on the 20-day SMA, currently at 66816. A sustained break below this level could signal a shift in momentum. Conversely, a push above the R1 pivot at 67373.67 might indicate further upside. What are your preferred confirmation signals for entries?
