That day's trend: Neutral leaning bullish

That day's view: BTC closed 6/22 at $64,020 (+1.12%) on doubled volume of 15,423 BTC vs 6/21 (+92%), forming a textbook (c) short-covering-driven rebound. The most critical directional inflection is OI flipping from +0.44% on 6/21 to -0.67%, as price rose and volume expanded while OI fell — indicating majors are covering shorts rather than building longs, ruling out (a) healthy rally and (b) short squeeze. Funding edged up only to +0.00424%, well below the short-squeeze threshold, confirming the (c) nature. FGI stayed at 20 (extreme fear); macro risk appetite has not warmed, casting doubt on the rebound's durability. Key levels: resistance at $65,623 (today's H), support at $63,312 (today's L). Watch the 6/23 US PCE print — a downside surprise risks macro-driven reversal engulfing the (c) setup.
