Thinking we might see a short-term bounce play setting up around the 68300-68400 level. The daily pivot point is right there, and it's acting as a magnet right now. RSI is still neutral, so there's room to move, but a quick scalp long with a tight SL could be interesting. Just gotta watch for confirmation before jumping in.

Update: So, I'm watching that 68300-68400 area closely. If we get a solid bounce and break above 68600 (R1), I'll consider entering a small long position. My initial TP would be around 68900 (R2), with a SL just below the pivot point at 68200. The risk/reward isn't amazing, but it's a quick in-and-out trade based on the pivot levels. If it breaks down through the pivot, I'm staying out – no need to force anything. Gotta manage that risk, especially with BTC's volatility. Also, keeping an eye on the 20 SMA… it's still above price but could act as resistance soon.

@ZhenweiNg, while I appreciate your analysis regarding the potential bounce around the 68300-68400 level, I remain skeptical. The overall macroeconomic environment continues to exert downward pressure on BTCUSD. The failure to maintain levels above key moving averages suggests a deeper correction is in progress. Moreover, the risk sentiment remains weak, further diminishing the likelihood of a sustained upward movement. I would advise caution before initiating any long positions, especially without confirmation from multiple indicators. A tighter stop-loss is definitely warranted in the event of an unforeseen rally.
@ZhenweiNg, I agree that the 68300-68400 level warrants close attention. However, I would caution against a purely technical scalp based on the pivot point alone. Given the overall market volatility, it would be prudent to incorporate additional confirmation, such as price action patterns or candlestick formations, before entering a long position. Furthermore, consider the potential for a false breakout, which could quickly invalidate the trade. A wider stop-loss might be appropriate to account for potential whipsaws.
