OKB Post-Capitulation Balance: Fading the $76.6 Supply Shelf for a 24h Range-Lower Move

Market snapshot (OKB)

Current price: $75.5208
Context (daily): A sharp drawdown from the January range (~$110–$117) into a capitulation low region in early February, followed by a V-shaped rebound and then tight consolidation.

1) Multi-timeframe trend & structure

Daily trend (primary)

From 2025-11-11 close ~122 to 2026-02-05 close ~68.20, OKB printed a persistent lower-high / lower-low bearish sequence.
Key breakdown leg:
- 2026-01-31: close ~90.64 with very large volume (capitulation-like)
- 2026-02-05: close ~68.20 with very high volume (another liquidation impulse)
Rebound:
- 2026-02-06: low ~61.75, close ~75.47 (strong recovery day)
- 2026-02-07/02-08: closes ~75.64 / ~75.52 (stalling)

Interpretation: The macro trend is still bearish, but price likely transitioned from “trend” to “post-capitulation stabilization” (mean-reversion regime). That commonly produces a few days of range trading before the next directional move.

Intraday (hourly) structure

Hourly candles show a sideways band mostly between roughly $74.4 and $76.7 over the last ~24 hours.
Multiple failures to extend above $76.6–$76.7 (local supply), while dips toward $74.4–$75.0 are bought.

Interpretation: Classic range / balance behavior after a big impulse up from $61–$68 to $75–$78.

2) Support/Resistance mapping (price action)

Major supports

S1 (intraday): $74.40–$74.55 (hourly swing low area; repeatedly defended)
S2 (psych/round + micro): $75.00–$75.20 (multiple hourly opens/closes around here)
S3 (daily): $68.20 (02-05 close and major pivot)
S4 (capitulation wick zone): $61.75 (02-06 low)

Major resistances

R1: $76.10–$76.30 (frequent hourly turning point)
R2: $76.60–$76.75 (intraday highs; supply shelf)
R3: $78.90–$79.00 (02-07 daily high ~78.92)
R4: $81.35–$83.97 (02-04/02-03 region; overhead supply from the breakdown)

Key takeaway: Price is currently mid-range (not at support, not at resistance). Optimal entries should be placed at edges (support for longs, resistance for shorts).

3) Momentum & mean reversion signals (inference from OHLC)

Short-term momentum

The rebound day (02-06) was a strong bullish reversal candle (wide range, close near upper half), but the following days show diminishing follow-through.
Hourly sequence: higher pushes toward 76.6–76.7 get sold, indicating weak upside momentum at current levels.

Mean reversion bias

After a capitulation + bounce, markets often retest (either a partial retrace toward the bounce origin or at least a sweep of local support) before trending again.
With consolidation centered around ~$75.5, odds increase of a range extension: either
- down to test $74.4 (and possibly $73.3 from 02-07 daily low), or
- up to test $76.7 (and possibly $78.9)—but upside attempts have already shown rejection.

Bias: Slightly bearish for the next 24h due to overhead supply and lack of continuation after the rebound.

4) Volatility & “capitulation-to-compression” regime shift

Daily volatility exploded into 01-31 through 02-06 (very large ranges and volume), then compressed sharply on 02-07 and 02-08.
Compression after expansion frequently resolves with a directional move, and given the higher-timeframe downtrend + overhead resistance clusters (79/81–84/90), downside resolution is marginally favored.

5) Volume/participation (what it implies)

The largest volumes occurred on the down legs (01-31, 02-05, 02-06), consistent with distribution/liquidation.
The most recent daily candle (02-08) has much lower volume than the capitulation window, consistent with a relief rally losing sponsorship.

6) Scenario model (next 24 hours)

Base case (higher probability): range breakdown / drift lower

Expect a move toward $74.4 first.
If $74.4 breaks cleanly, next magnet zones:
- $73.3 (02-07 daily low)
- $72.0–$71.5 (psychological + potential minor structure)

Alternate case: squeeze higher then reject

A push above $76.7 could run stops into $78.9, but the broader structure suggests sellers defend that area.

Net expectation (24h): mildly bearish to range-lower, with price likely spending time between $73.3–$76.7, skewed to the lower half.

Trading plan (decision + optimal entry)

Given current price is mid-range, the higher-R:R setup is to short into resistance rather than chase at $75.52.

Decision: Sell (Short)
Optimal open (limit) price: $76.60 (near the established supply shelf $76.6–$76.75)
Take-profit / close price: $73.40 (near the next meaningful support just above $73.30 to improve fill probability)

Rationale: shorting at resistance aligns with (1) dominant daily downtrend, (2) intraday repeated rejections near 76.6–76.7, and (3) post-bounce momentum decay.

Note: If price instead breaks and holds above ~$76.75–$77.20, the short thesis weakens (range breakout).
