Bitcoin is currently trading within a narrow range. Yesterday’s daily candle closed as a small bearish inverted hammer. After rising, the price met resistance around the middle Bollinger Band; gains stalled near 83,100 before it pulled back.

The morning session extended the decline, briefly finding support at 81,100. It is now fluctuating around 82,000. From a technical perspective, those who have not entered long positions can wait for a sustained hold above 80,000 before considering an entry. The lower limit of support for this pullback is around 78,000.

On the 4-hour chart, 80,800 has repeatedly absorbed selling pressure and is a key support level. The window for bulls to buy the dip in this range-bound market is limited; a directional breakout could occur at any time once consolidation ends.

Trading strategy:
Consider entering long if Bitcoin pulls back to the 80,700–81,300 range. The first target is 82,600–83,200, with further upside toward 84,000.
