BTC Technical Analysis
Bitcoin had a good run over the weekend, but the momentum was not sustainable. We can see the rejection from the previous supply area making a lower high. We can also see volume expansion with this rejection showing seller confidence. Looking at futures data, the cumulative volume delta suggests distribution as well.
