Bitcoin's breakout still needs two confirmations
Bitcoin looks weak after another sharp reversal, but the bigger weekly picture is still neutral rather than broken — and could flip positive quickly for buyers.
- Bitcoin pushed higher, then snapped back down just as traders started turning hopeful.
- On the weekly chart a bottoming pattern is in play: the key line at $83,200 has been broken and closed above, with decent trading volume behind it.
- Two things are still missing — a weekly close holding above that line, and a push through the earlier rejection area near $87,200.
- Until both happen, buying now is premature; patience beats flipping between bullish and bearish every few days.
- Altcoins are the weak spot, with XRP trades getting stopped out while Bitcoin and Ethereum positions stay in the green.
Outlook: If Bitcoin closes the week above $83,200 and clears $87,200, the setup turns bullish with a path toward $120,000.
