BTC Technical Outlook: Bitcoin Consolidates Above Major Demand as Bearish Pressure Persists



Bitcoin remains under corrective bearish pressure after a sharp rejection from the $115K–$126K supply zone, where price topped near the Fib 0.786–1.0 levels. This rejection marked a clear distribution phase and initiated a strong downside move.

The sell-off accelerated once BTC lost the $108,800–$103,400 region (0.618–0.5 Fib), pushing price decisively below all major EMAs and confirming short-to-medium-term bearish control.

EMA Structure (Bearish Alignment)

20 EMA – $89,192

50 EMA – $93,560

100 EMA – $99,215

200 EMA – $101,974

All EMAs are sloping downward and stacked above price, meaning every rebound attempt continues to face strong dynamic resistance.

BTC is currently consolidating near the $88,000–$86,000 major demand zone, which aligns closely with the Fib 0 level at $80,686 below. This zone has previously acted as strong support, and recent price action suggests selling pressure is slowing, increasing the probability of a short-term relief bounce.

For bulls, the first key level to reclaim is $91,426 (0.236 Fib). A daily close above this level would indicate early stabilization. A stronger recovery would require BTC to break above $98,070 (0.382 Fib) and then reclaim $103,440 (0.5 Fib) — where previous breakdowns occurred.

A full trend reversal would only be confirmed if BTC regains $108,810 (0.618 Fib) and holds above it — a scenario that currently remains unlikely without broader market strength.

On the downside, failure to hold the $85,800–$88,000 support zone would expose BTC to deeper losses toward $80,700, the next major macro demand level.

RSI is currently around 45, reflecting weak but stabilizing momentum, consistent with consolidation rather than aggressive selling.

📌 Summary

BTC is consolidating above a key long-term demand zone after a sharp corrective move. While selling pressure has eased and a short-term bounce is possible, the broader structure remains bearish unless BTC reclaims the $98K–$103K resistance region with strength. A breakdown below $85,800 would expose BTC to deeper downside toward $80,700.
