Bitcoin's Failed Breakout: Expect Choppy Action

I noticed Bitcoin briefly reclaimed all-time highs and then surrendered those gains within hours, which tells me the upside was fragile and driven more by short-term positioning than broad conviction. The rapid reversal highlights profit-taking, low follow-through volume, and likely distribution from larger holders.

I'm concerned this pattern increases the chance of near-term chop or a pullback to test support rather than a sustained breakout. Until I see a clean, volume-backed continuation above the prior high, the market looks range-bound and event-sensitive.

I'm watching on-chain flows, exchange orderbooks, and volume for confirmation. For now I prefer caution: maintain smaller position sizes, use tight risk controls, and consider scaling in only on clear confirmations or measured weakness.
