Bitcoin continues to treat the 50-day moving average like a sacred line in the sand. Once again, price dipped to test the level and found immediate support – bouncing right off the blue line with a solid daily candle and gaining over 1% in the process. That makes multiple successful defenses of the 50 MA in recent weeks – clearly, traders are watching it closely.
The key takeaway here isn’t just the bounce, but the fact that BTC remains in a tightening range between ~$112,000 resistance and ~$100,700 support. We’re seeing a clear battle between bulls and bears – with bulls still managing to defend higher lows while momentum tries to rebuild. As long as the 50 MA continues to hold, the structure remains bullish – but if it breaks, it could signal a retest of the $100K psychological level or even a deeper pullback toward the mid-$90Ks.
For now, the trend is still your friend. But keep one eye on the moving average – because the moment it fails, this range could resolve sharply. Until then, it’s a patient trader’s market.
