BTC Short-Term Consolidation Outlook
Bitcoin is stabilizing after a sharp intraday sell-off, currently holding above the 86,800 to 87,000 support zone. This area has acted as a clear demand pocket on lower timeframes, with repeated buyer defense and noticeably reduced sell pressure.
So far, price behavior suggests consolidation rather than a decisive trend shift. Sellers appear exhausted near the lows, while buyers are stepping in consistently, indicating this move looks corrective in nature. As long as BTC maintains acceptance above this base, a short-term relief bounce toward nearby resistance remains the higher probability scenario.
That said, this zone is critical. A clean loss of support would invalidate the consolidation thesis and expose BTC to deeper downside as liquidity below gets tested.
Trade Structure Entry Zone: 87,000 to 87,400
Target 1: 88,200
Target 2: 89,000
Stop Loss: 86,400
Market remains reactive and range-driven. Patience and risk control matter more than aggression here.
