That day's view: Yesterday BTC closed at around $78,189, with Open $76,842 / Close $78,189 / High $79,600 / Low $76,388. 24h recorded a mild rebound of approximately +1.75%, with full-day volume of 15,413 BTC slightly expanded from the previous day but still in the neutral range. Funding rate maintained at a slight positive range of +0.0057% throughout the day—longs not overcrowded, nor any significant short squeeze signals. Open interest slightly declined from 104,897 contracts to 103,517 contracts, down approximately 1.32% WoW. Price rising while OI declining is a typical (c) short-covering-driven rebound structure, not (a) healthy trend continuation. Fear & Greed Index at 57 has stayed in the greed zone for multiple consecutive days—market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic but lacks further euphoria catalysts. Comprehensive judgment: Current rebound is a repair rally driven by short covering; bulls lack willingness to actively follow through. Key resistance above: $79,000–$79,600 zone; if OI cannot rebound in tandem and hold above $79,000, rebound sustainability remains questionable. Support below: $76,000 level; a breach would require caution for continued pullback. This week focuses on US macro data and ETF fund flow to verify whether buying pressure returns; be vigilant of secondary retest risk after short covering concludes.
