Riya Sehgal, research analyst at Delta Exchange, said Bitcoin’s latest pullback appears to be part of a broader movement of macroeconomic risk aversion. Technically, Bitcoin has yet to gain acceptance above the $82,000-$82,500 resistance band, which remains the key ceiling for momentum traders.
Sehgal also said that as long as Bitcoin maintains this region, the market can still view this move as consolidation after a recovery; However, a sharp break below $78,500 could expose the 200-EMA region near $77,800 and overall, crypto markets need confirmation of ETF flows, macro liquidity, returns, and on-chain holder behavior before the next directional trend becomes clearer.
