Bitcoin narrowly missed a major breakout. History says be careful.
Bitcoin pulled back below $81,000 after narrowly missing the 200-day moving average near $83,300, a key long-term strength indicator. History warns: BTC tested this level in March 2022 before collapsing. Supporting factors include gold highs, ETF inflows, and easing Treasury yields. Analysts watch three catalysts: sustained spot demand, exchange supply tightness, and derivatives stability determining next moves.
