Bitcoin rejected at $81K. But is $50K really next?
BTC pushed to $81,265 before getting rejected almost perfectly at the 50-week MA around $81,085.
The rejection is a clear technical warning, but the $50K narrative may be getting more attention than it deserves.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs just recorded their 6th consecutive day of inflows, with $337M entering on Aug. 24. ETF AUM also climbed from $78.67B to $98.56B in just one week.
The $50K scenario is largely tied to a hawkish Fed surprise, not the current base case.
Citi sees $82K as its base case, with $53K as the bear case. Galaxy's downside scenario sits around $40K to $46K, while Polymarket gives an August $50K print just a 2% probability.
Meanwhile, Standard Chartered sees $100K by year end, while Bernstein's target is $150K.
So what are we really looking at?
A genuine trend reversal, a healthy pullback within the broader uptrend, or simply a pause before Bitcoin takes another shot at the 50-week MA?
The rejection matters. But so does the demand underneath the market.
Where do you stand?
