Main Idea
Bitcoin's failure to sustain gains above $122,000 suggests potential buyer exhaustion, with a confirmed double top breakdown possibly leading to a re-test of $100,000.

5. The market is vulnerable to a hotter-than-expected U.S. CPI report, which could dampen Fed rate cut bets and weigh on risk assets.
