Bitcoin · 2026-07-13
That day's view: BTC closed 7/13 at $62,334 (-2.27%), with a high of $64,425 and a low of $61,825. Volume came in at 21,683 BTC, roughly 18% lower than 7/12. Funding flipped positive to +0.00616% but remains in the ultra-low band, while OI rose +6.58%, indicating major-player accumulation. The combination of shrinking volume, falling price, and rising OI suggests majors are adding longs into the weak bounce, but retail trapped longs remain unresolved, framed as pattern (b) — short squeeze plus weak distribution. FGI 28 stays in extreme fear, so bottom-fishing sentiment is muted. Watch $62,000 — a break opens a test of $58,800 strong support, with resistance at $64,400. Event-side, focus on the U.S. CPI print and ETF fund flows. This is the 13th structural divergence (BTC majors adding longs vs. ETH majors cutting exposure — opposite mechanics).
