On the hourly candlestick chart, bitcoin shows a steep selloff from a local high of $105,706 to an intraday low of $100,764 before modestly recovering. The chart reflects intensifying sell pressure, with red volume bars dominating recent sessions. This correction arrives after a relatively stable period and suggests that resistance near the $105,000 level is proving difficult to breach.
