$BTC just gave a very sharp move on the 15m chart and the structure tells a clear story.

Price was moving in a tight sideways range near 84,200 to 84,600 where buyers and sellers were fighting for control. That area acted like a distribution zone. Every small bounce was getting sold into. Momentum slowly weakened and candles started making lower highs.

Then the real move started.

A strong series of red candles broke the intraday support near 83,800. After that, there was no real buyer strength. Price kept sliding step by step, breaking 83,360 and then accelerating toward 82,900.

The most important part is the last candle.

A long impulsive drop pushed Bitcoin to 82,560. That kind of candle on a lower timeframe usually shows panic selling or forced liquidations. Right after that, we can see a small bounce to 82,660, but it is weak and slow compared to the drop. That tells us sellers are still in control for now.

What this means for traders:

82,500 to 82,600 is now a short term reaction zone. If buyers cannot push price back above 83,300 quickly, this bounce can turn into a continuation move down.

83,300 to 83,800 is now a strong resistance area. Any move into this zone can face heavy selling pressure.

If price stays below this region, BTC can test lower liquidity areas in the coming sessions.

Right now the chart is showing fear, not strength. And in trading, candles always speak before the crowd understands what happened.
