BTC/USD: Channel Breakdown & Retest | Targeting SSL Target ?
Trade Setup: Bearish Rejection at Supply Zone (SMC Setup)
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) on the 1H timeframe is showing clear signs of potential bearish continuation after a breakdown from an ascending channel structure.

Supply Zone Retest: BTC is currently pulling back to retest the newly formed Supply Zone ($64,600 - $64,750).
Market Structure Alignment: Prior price action established key levels via previous Liquidity Sweeps, CHOCH, and MSS, setting up this distribution phase.

Target (TP): $63,750 (Sell-Side Liquidity / Support Level)
