Bitcoin narrowly avoided breaking below a key support zone, but the broader signals still point to more weakness ahead, which is bad news for bulls in the short term.

• Bitcoin dipped below $80,000 but closed back above it, so support is holding for now.
• A bearish divergence active for about a month signals a continued lack of upward momentum, not necessarily a crash.
• The U.S. stock market reopening and this week's Fed meeting could trigger more volatility within a day or two.
• Most major altcoins (Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Chainlink, Sui) are following Bitcoin's pattern of holding support while showing the same weak momentum.
• If Bitcoin's dominance breaks above resistance, that would be a bad sign for altcoins, which could underperform Bitcoin significantly.

Outlook: The base case for the coming week leans bearish, with a possible break back below $80,000 unless the stock market stages a real recovery.

## Bitcoin Levels

• **Bias:** Neutral-to-bearish; holding support but momentum is weak
• **Buy / accumulate:** $79,000 area (building liquidity, near support)
• **Sell / take profit:** $84,500 and $85,000 (liquidity zones to the upside)
• **Support:** $80,000–$82,000 (key zone); $79,000 (secondary)
• **Resistance:** $86,000–$88,000
• **Invalidation:** A confirmed daily/3-day candle close below $80,000 would confirm the breakdown
