$BTC hovering at $78.5K and the 4H chart is telling the same story.

$79.5K is the line in the sand. Multiple rejections already. Until we flip it, that $79.5K-$80K zone is straight resistance.

The upside? We're still comfortably above the $70.5K breakout level. Structure intact for now.

Here's the playbook:

Break and hold $79.5K → $80K+ opens up fast
Lose current range → $70.5K becomes the critical support to defend

$BTC is coiling under resistance. Compression like this doesn't last forever.

Something's about to give.
