Bitcoin (BTC) 1H — $76,800–$78,000 Decision ZoneBitcoin / TetherUSBINANCE:BTCUSDTBlockPulseBitcoin (BTC) 1H Analysis BTC is consolidating after a major higher-timeframe expansion, with price currently trapped inside the $76,800–$78,000 H1 decision range. Market Structure D1 remains in recovery/transition, while H4 retains a bullish expansion structure. H1 is consolidating after the impulse rather than showing a confirmed bearish reversal. The latest lower-timeframe weakness toward $76,800–$77,000 was reclaimed, but BTC has also failed to establish acceptance through $78,000. This leaves the market in confirmation territory rather than an active directional breakout. Key Levels Resistance: $78,700–$79,500 Immediate Resistance: $77,800–$78,000 Decision Zone: $76,800–$78,000 Immediate Support: $76,800–$77,000 Major Support: $75,500–$76,000 Bullish Scenario BTC needs an H1 close above $78,000 to confirm bullish continuation. Higher-quality confirmation would include acceptance above the breakout area and M15 bullish alignment. If confirmed: TP1: $78,700 TP2: $79,000 TP3: $79,500 Invalidation: Failure to hold $78,000 followed by an H1 close back inside the range. Bearish Scenario BTC needs an H1 close below $76,800 to confirm a deeper corrective move. A wick through support is not sufficient. Prefer an H1 breakdown followed by a failed reclaim and M15 bearish alignment. If confirmed: TP1: $76,000 TP2: $75,500 TP3: $74,800 Invalidation: H1 reclaim above $76,800 with sustained acceptance. Current Status 🟡 WAITING — BTC remains between the $78,000 bullish confirmation and $76,800 bearish confirmation levels. Main Risk BTC is trading on Sunday after a very large H4 expansion, increasing liquidity-sweep and false-breakout risk. The supplied economic calendar shows no high-impact U.S. release during the displayed Aug. 24 session; the listed U.S. 3-month and 6-month bill auctions are at 21:00 local calendar time. USDT dominance is near 7.04% after a major decline and is attempting to stabilize, so a stronger USDT.D rebound would be a secondary headwind for BTC. Price structure remains primary. BlockPulse View The higher-timeframe impulse favors the bullish A-SETUP, but BTC is still inside the H1 decision range. Do not treat an intraday wick on either side as confirmation. Let the H1 close establish direction. NO CONFIRMATION = NO TRADE. PRECISION OVER HYPE. Disclaimer Educational market analysis only. Not financial advice.
