1. BTC — short.
Bitcoin is at $79,940 and has lost the 80,000 threshold for the third time this week. Yesterday it fell 1.23% and touched 79,710, and $356 million of positions were liquidated, $205 million of them long positions. The selling did not originate in crypto; it started with technology weakness in Asia following Samsung. The price is 5.4% above the 200-day average, so the long-term structure has not broken down, but every recovery meets selling around 81,300. The short-term direction is down, and an upward bounce counts as a selling opportunity.
