$BTC
is trading near $81,500, down less than 1% over the past day after failing to hold the $82,000–$82,500 area. Weekend volume is lighter, and the base case is sideways action between roughly $80,600 and $82,900. A daily close above $82,900–$83,000 would open $84,200–$84,400; a loss of $80,600–$80,800 reopens the October 15 low near $79,800 and then the mid-$78,000s. BTC held up better than equities after the AI-stock selloff, but ETF outflows and elevated funding keep the short-term bias defensive. It is still setting the tone for the other three.
