Scenarios for the week
Upside: a daily close above last week’s high at $87,238 would push BTC to fresh 90-day highs, where there is little recent overhead supply.
Downside: losing last week’s low at $82,778 would expose 30-day support around $74,956.
With a daily ATR of about $1,994, a stop placed one ATR away from entry is roughly 2.3% — use the position size calculator to size trades around that distance.
