BTC 1H Decision Map
BTC is testing the lower side of the intraday range near 77.8K after slipping below the 1H EMA20/EMA50 zone. RSI is soft, not washed out, so confirmation matters.
For $BTC, the key support is 77.6K-77.7K. Holding/reclaiming 78.1K can stabilize the map toward 78.6K, while losing 77.6K keeps risk defensive toward 77.3K-77.0K.
This is a decision zone, not a chase zone. Not financial advice.

Macro Ledger Update - Global Risk Board
Risk mood is cautious: US equity proxies are softer, VIX is higher, the dollar is steady near 99, and the US 10Y yield is near 4.60%. Gold is firm while oil is lower, but Iran/geopolitical headlines keep energy risk on the radar.
Macro impact: inflation and Fed-rate headlines are keeping liquidity conditions tight, so markets remain sensitive to any fresh move in yields or the dollar. Crypto policy news is constructive, but near-term pricing is still being driven by global risk appetite.
BTC/crypto impact: $BTC is near 78.0K after a tight 77.7K-78.6K day

Market pulse: U.S. 10Y yields are near 4.60% (+13bp vs prior close) while S&P 500 and Nasdaq screens are down about 1%+. BTC is steady near $78.4K, still trading as a liquidity/risk-asset read. Watch yields and dollar first. Not financial advice.

BTC 1H Decision Map
BTC is still inside a tight intraday range near 78.3K. The 1H chart is neutral: RSI is around 53, price is holding near the 20 EMA, but the 50 EMA and the 78.6K range high remain the first test.
$BTC map: above 78.6K, watch 78.9K-79.2K for follow-through. Below 77.7K, risk turns defensive toward 77.3K-77.0K. Between those levels, confirmation matters more than chasing.
Not financial advice.

Policy watch: The U.S. crypto Clarity Act advanced another step, adding a regulatory tailwind while macro still dominates risk pricing. BTC is holding near $78K after a 24h $77.7K–$78.6K range. Watch liquidity, dollar/yields and follow-through. Not financial advice.

Macro Ledger Update - Risk Mood Watch
Global markets are trading defensively: the dollar proxy is firmer, the US 10Y yield is near 4.59%, VIX is higher, and US equity proxies are softer. Oil is steady, but Iran/Hormuz headlines keep an energy-risk premium on the board.
The macro signal is still tight-liquidity: higher yields plus a stronger dollar usually reduce appetite for duration and high-beta assets, while gold and oil remain headline-sensitive.
Crypto impact: BTC is holding near 78.1K after a 77.7K-78.6K 24h range. For $BTC, watch 77.7K/77.6K as nearby support and 78.6K then 79.3K as rec

BTC 1H update: Gate mark is near 77.9K, slightly lower on the day, after price failed to reclaim the 78.6K area. TradingView still shows a lower-high sequence from the 82K zone, with price consolidating near recent lows rather than trending higher.
Decision map for $BTC: 77.5K-77.7K is the first support shelf. A clean reclaim of 78.3K-78.6K would stabilize the intraday range and reopen 78.9K-79.2K. Losing 77.5K keeps the structure defensive and shifts focus toward 77.0K.
Neutral-to-defensive until reclaim. Not financial advice.
