Bitcoin is sitting in a holding pattern right now, with limited price momentum in either direction.

Market chatter keeps pointing to a potential bear flag breakdown that could trigger a move down toward 70k levels. But here's the thing—volume just isn't backing it up. Without solid volume behind a breakdown, that pattern loses a lot of teeth. A bear flag without conviction behind it is more noise than signal.

That said, lower prices are definitely possible. But if I had to call the most probable scenario? Sideways grinding looks like the base case. Expect chop rather than a clean directional move until we see either volume confirmation on a breakdown or enough buying pressure to push through resistance. Until then, tight ranges are probably your best friend for trading these levels.
