Bitcoin is back around $77.8K after bouncing from the $76K area.

But I’m still focused on one level:

$79,500.

That’s the resistance Bitcoin has failed to properly reclaim several times since the move above $80K.

If BTC can finally break $79.5K and hold it on the 4H, I think $80K becomes much easier to take out, with $81K–$82K next.

If we get another rejection, I’d be watching $76K.

Lose that and the chart starts looking a lot less comfortable in the short term.

The bigger structure is still intact while Bitcoin remains above the $70.5K pivot.

So for me, this is pretty straightforward.

$79.5K is the level that needs to break.

$76K is the level that needs to hold.

Everything in between is just noise.

I’m watching the reaction at those levels more than anything else.
