Daily Pulse — The Belief Lines Hold — A Bounce, Not a Bottom?

A week after both belief lines were the question, both held — and a medium-term bottom looks in for each. But the declines that led here differ in kind, and that is the read. Bitcoin fell in five waves: impulsive, a probable regime shift, the larger trend turning down — so its bounce toward the 82.5k-84k confluence (with 60,000 the invalidation) is countertrend. Gold fell in three: corrective, most likely a dip inside an intact bull, holding its 4,000 / GLD-370 line — the more bullish structure, unless the three extends into five. Its tell is the GLD 400-410 wall. For a swing-trade lens the two converge — directionally up for both right now — but they part on the trend behind the bounce. Up for the swing, not a bottom for the trend. Diary framing, not advice.
