Last weeks high: $29202.3
Last weeks low: $27844.3
Midpoint: $26486.3
From the volatility of the FED's FOMC announcement, the volatility has continued into last weeks price action in BTC. The 1H 200EMA had price ranging underneath it between the week low and the 0.25 quarter line. Once price had reclaimed 0.25 and had a successful retest, the 1H 200EMA was also reclaimed and a large rally followed. Since then the moving average has acted as support as it did for the previous week, this still remains one of the most important indicators for Bitcoins momentum.
With last weeks price action beginning and ending at the midpoint of the weekly range, it's clear that there are slowing momentum concerns. That coupled with the wick up to $29200 to grab liquidity and stop out shorts from the double top of two weeks ago.
I do think we are poised to retest 25.2k at some stage or another, it's a very key level that represents the top of the range we spent 9 months in, which is now the floor of our new range that reaches 32.5k. The potential for a bulltrap rally up near the ranges midpoint of 30-31k before retesting 25.2k would be my guess, however it is just that, a guess for now.
I would like to see certain structure taking place before entering any trades that follows this narrative. For example an impulse rally above 29.2k that stops out shorts and squeezes higher before rejecting aggressively reaching 30.5-31k, I think this will get enough bulls excited to trap them for the dip down to 25.2k.

Invalidation on this idea would be 33k in my opinion. Until then I'm looking into building shorts at the retest of the local high.
