The read, in fullWhy it matters
The price action is weak after a major liquidation event, and the bounce has been tepid. The key data point is the 'unambiguous warning' from derivatives, where traders are actively buying $60k puts. This indicates a high probability of a test and potential break of this critical support level, creating a clear tactical short opportunity.
