BTC $81.1K regains the True Market Mean and returns to the bullish zone, with short liquidations at $83-86K and the $85.6K ETF cost acting as overhead resistance; the corporate treasury’s BTC accumulation has stalled (5.9K BTC over 3 months vs 89K in July 2025).

1. [onchain] True Market Mean regained: Reclaims TMM at $76,660; current price $81.1K back into the bullish structure
2. [derivatives] Bear liquidation shelf: $83-86K is a dense liquidation cluster; shorts have built up over weeks and are hitting or quickly breaking through
3. [institutional] Corporate treasury accumulation stalls: only 5.9K BTC over 3 months vs 89K in 2025 July; current price below the $80.5K cost basis
4. [derivatives] Alt leverage not overheated: Alt OI share is only a few percentage points away from being considered overheated; currently not there
5. [macro] 50WMA signal: DMA is about 2% below the 50WMA; since 2012, there have been 6 times the price crossed above—holding around $80K for ~6 days
