Bitcoin Price Faces $78K Breakdown Risk Amid These Factors
The post Bitcoin Price Faces $78K Breakdown Risk Amid These Factors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin (BTC) hovers near $83,000 but faces mixed signals. Technical rejection, volume trends, and macro uncertainty threaten a downside move toward $78,600. A failed breakout above a multi-month descending resistance line has added pressure to BTC’s structure. Despite a short-lived spot-driven rally to $88,500 earlier in the week, bearish targets remain valid amid declining volume and geopolitical tensions.
