BTC at the Edge of Support: Rejected at 68K, Sellers Regain Control — Next 24h Skew Lower

Multi-timeframe technical read (BTC/USD)

Data used: Daily candles (2025-11-15 → 2026-02-12) + last ~24h of hourly candles (2026-02-11 22:00 → 2026-02-12 21:57).
Current price: $65,786.77 (2026-02-12 21:57Z).

1) Market structure & trend (Price Action)

Daily structure

From mid-November (~~$95k) to mid-February (~~$65.8k), BTC is in a clear downtrend (sequence of lower highs and lower lows).
Key leg breakdown:
- Jan 14 high ~97,860 → Feb 5 capitulation low ~62,353: major impulse down.
- Feb 6 rebound close ~70,555 (strong bounce day), but price failed to reclaim prior breakdown levels and subsequently rolled over.
- Feb 12 daily candle: Open ~67,026 / High ~68,325 / Low ~65,243 / Close ~65,787 → bearish continuation with a lower close vs. Feb 11 close (~66,992).

Hourly structure (last 24h)

Early hours: grind up into ~68.3k (hourly high aligns with daily high).
Then a sharp sell-off (notably 16:00–18:00) to mid-65k with heavy hourly volumes (notably 17:00–20:00 blocks), indicating distribution and aggressive selling.
Late hours: small bounce toward ~65.8k, but no meaningful higher-high sequence after the drop.

Conclusion (structure): Trend remains bearish, and the latest intraday attempt higher was rejected at a logical resistance zone.

2) Support/Resistance mapping (horizontal + swing levels)

Immediate resistance (nearest “sell wall” zones)

$66,900–$67,200: prior daily close region (Feb 11 close ~66,992) + intraday pivot area.
$67,700–$68,300: intraday peak (daily high ~68,325) and rejection zone.
$70,000–$70,600: psychological + Feb 6 close (~70,555) = major supply if revisited.

Immediate support

$65,200–$65,500: today’s daily low (~65,243) + intraday base.
$64,800–$65,000: round-number support; if $65.2k breaks, this becomes the next “magnet.”
$62,300–$63,000: Feb 5 capitulation low (~62,353) = major swing support.

Conclusion (S/R): Price is sitting on support but under multiple nearby resistances; this favors sell rallies rather than buy dips (until a higher timeframe reversal confirms).

3) Momentum & mean-reversion signals (qualitative from candles)

Impulse vs correction

The rebound from Feb 6–9 (~70–72k area) looked like a corrective bounce after capitulation.
Since Feb 10, candles show renewed downside pressure (lower closes and failure to reclaim 70k).

Candlestick / micro-pattern read

Daily: Feb 12 resembles a bearish follow-through day after Feb 11 weakness, with price probing lower and closing weak.
Hourly: rejection from 68k followed by fast drop suggests a bull trap / failed breakout attempt.

Conclusion (momentum): Momentum currently points down; any bounce is likely corrective unless it reclaims and holds above ~67.2k then ~68.3k.

4) Volume / participation

Daily volumes spike during Feb 5–6 (capitulation + rebound), then remain elevated. This commonly precedes a volatile distribution range.
Hourly: the largest prints appear during the selloff window (17:00–20:00), consistent with institutional-style selling into liquidity.

Conclusion (volume): Sellers showed up when price tried to lift; bearish bias remains.

5) Volatility / risk regime

The Feb 5 daily candle is extremely wide-range (low ~62.3k), implying high-volatility regime is active.
In such regimes, price frequently retests lows (or at least revisits lower supports) after an initial rebound.

Conclusion (volatility): Elevated volatility increases the probability of another downward sweep (even if followed by a bounce).

6) Scenario forecast (next 24 hours)

Base case (higher probability): bearish continuation / range-to-down

Expect attempts to bounce into $66.9k–$67.2k to be sold.
Likely path: consolidation around 65.5–66.2k → retest $65.2k → possible extension into $64.8k–$65.0k.

Alternative case (lower probability): short-covering bounce

If BTC reclaims $67.2k and holds (hourly closes above), it can squeeze toward $68.3k.
However, given the fresh rejection and distribution, that would still be viewed as a sellable rally unless it clears and holds above ~70k.

24h directional call: Down / bearish bias, with choppy mean-reversion bounces but lower expected highs.

7) Trade plan logic (why Sell, and where)

Because price is at support, market-selling is not optimal (poor R:R). The higher-quality approach is:

Sell on a bounce into nearby resistance (former support).
Place take-profit near the next liquidity pocket/support.

Optimal short entry zone: $66,900–$67,200 (pivot/previous close region).
If price does not bounce, a secondary entry is on breakdown below ~65,200 (not requested, but noted).

Key levels to watch in the next 24h

Bear trigger/continuation: < $65,200
Invalidation warning (near-term): sustained trade > $68,300
Major bearish invalidation (swing): reclaim/hold > $70,600
