Support & Resistance
Support: 76,386.00 USDT — Prior 20-bar low. Formed before the latest completed bar
Resistance: 78,683.40 USDT — Upper average (dynamic) · focus. Nearer overhead of then-current EMA20/EMA50 at this close
Resistance: 77,667.97 USDT — EMA20 (dynamic). Moving reference on completed 4h series — not a fixed ceiling
Resistance: 78,866.50 USDT — Prior 20-bar high. Formed before the latest completed bar
Confirmation: A completed break of Prior 20-bar low (76,386.00 USDT) would strengthen the softer bias.
