4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi ladder implies Bitcoin is priced at $64K-$66K on June 17: 53% above $64K but only 25% above $66K, consistent with spot near $64,835.
Analyst 'meaningful floor' framing for the $60K-$70K range is consistent with the ladder showing 90% above $60K but sharp drop-off above $66K.
The end-of-June trimmed mean ladder shows only 8% above $75K, indicating markets see limited upside extension from current levels near term.
Resolves intraday June 17 via the Kalshi price feed; current spot near $64,835 puts the $64K-$66K range squarely in focus.
