Tendência do dia: Altista cauteloso

Visão do dia: BTC closed at $64,532 on August 17 (+2.59%), reaching a high of $64,610, with volume of 14,256 BTC — roughly 3x that of August 16 (+201%), a significant expansion. OI declined -4.10% (110,943 → 106,396), with funding at +0.00633%, about 2.17x the August 16 level but still low in absolute terms — long-paid funding with mild firepower. Price up + OI down + volume expansion = typical (c) short-covering driven rally + sell pressure release, not active new long positioning. FGI 31 remains in fear territory. Watch the $64,000 support (August 16 close of $62,900 as the second line); a break above $64,600 targets $65,500. Key risk: if the August 19 FOMC minutes lean hawkish, the market may give back gains once short-covering momentum is exhausted.
