🩸 Bears tried the floor. The floor said no.
Bears tried to kick in the kitchen door at $65,019. The kitchen told them to get lost.
Sunday night's stop-hunt wick flushed below $65,600 support all the way to $65,019 — then reversed hard. Monday opens at $67,516 (+1.85%), back above the level that matters. The floor held. Now we find out if this bounce has legs or just good lighting.
TODAY'S BOARD
BTC $67,516 (+1.85%) — Stop-hunt reversed — floor held, $68,500 overhead
ETH $2,062 (+3.47%) — Second $1,980 test held — lagging BTC, watching $2,100
Macro Bind — Brent $108 + Rubio "2–4 weeks" — Oil locked in, Fed frozen, risk-off persists
TODAY'S JOB
Watch $68,500 like it owes you rent. Clean close above it = bears got cooked. Rejection = dead-cat bounce with good posture.

Core Setup — The Stop-Hunt That Backfired — And Why the ETF Print Decides Everything
Sunday night BTC got ambushed — a single candle dropped -2.4% to $65,019, $581 below critical support. Bears had their shot. The kitchen said no. Price reversed in a V-recovery, flushed the shorts, and opened Monday back above the level that mattered. Technically constructive. Definitely dramatic.
Here's the fine print: the macro reason for the Sunday flush hasn't changed. Rubio's "2–4 weeks" Iran signal means oil stays near $108, the Fed stays frozen, risk-off persists. The bounce bought time. It didn't buy a new thesis. What decides if this recovery has legs is the Monday ETF flow print — if institutional money comes back positive after Q1's -24.6% drawdown, $87B in AUM wasn't just holding, it's buying the dip. If outflows continue, $65,600 faces test number four.
