Actual daily closes, with a few sessions of context on either side.

Prediction reasoning

August is historically Bitcoin's worst month — the only month with a negative median return (~-7.87%, red 9 of the last 15 years) — and BTC is already rolling over from its ~$66.5k 07-21 peak to ~$63k. A hawkish-leaning Fed decision this week layers risk-off pressure on top of weak seasonality, and ETF-buying support has been inconsistent. Community 1w is split (4/4) but the daily crowd is clearly bearish (down 6 / up 2) → down.
