Bitcoin is trying to break through the resistance, now around $81K. I just saw that the price yesterday reached that $80K threshold, but now it seems like we're breaking above it. Interesting detail: the derivatives markets are clearly showing signals of risk aversion, so not everyone believes in this move.
The resistance we see here is quite solid. Many traders have orders at that level, so it could go either way. What I notice is that the futures positioning is rather defensive—many short positions and caution. That doesn't quite fit a bullish breakout.
If Bitcoin truly breaks through this resistance and stays above the $82K , the next target could be reached more quickly. But as long as the derivatives remain so cautious, I keep my confidence in check. The resistance is real, and traders are taking it seriously.
