Resistance: $84,000–84,250 is the key level. A daily close above $84,246 opens the path to $85,301, then $86,644. Heavy resistance sits near $87,300. (techbullion)
Support: About $82,281 first, then the 50-week EMA near $78.5K. Chartist Aksel Kibar marks $75,000 as the line where the bigger pattern breaks. (techbullion)
Outlook: Neutral to cautiously bullish. Bulls need a close above $84K, and a fall below $78K would weaken the setup.#GrayscaleAndRepublicLaunchThreeCryptoFunds #ElSalvadorBitcoinHoldingsSurpass7800BTC #NasdaqDowWeeklyGapWidestSinceJuly2002 #StrategySharesFall9%OnFriday
