Past
What happened
Bitcoin slipped to $77,249 (-0.37%) — earlier-week $584M long liquidations kept positioning cautious; BTC dominance lifted to 58.1%.
Why
Why it matters
BTC's correlation with high-beta tech keeps it pinned to NVDA's tape. Mark Cuban's 'sold most of his Bitcoin' headline added sentiment overhang.
Watch
What to watch
$75,000 critical defence — break exposes $72,000 gap. NVDA print plus Fed minutes tonight is the binary catalyst combo.
Past
What happened
BTC is glued to $77,000-$77,500 for a fifth straight session, currently $77,354. Closing the week up just 0.1% would mark the tightest weekly range since February.
Why
Why it matters
Germany rejecting the Greens' bid to end the crypto tax exemption is a quiet structural positive, but flows are dormant — ETF net creations under $50M/day, and altcoin rotation (NEAR +28% on AI/scaling) is pulling marginal capital away.
Watch
What to watch
Weekly close above $77,500 keeps the bull structure clean. Loss of $76,800 opens the $75,000 risk that several desks are now flagging out loud into Sunday's CME gap.
