While $68,000 was a 2021 high, in our current 2026 landscape, Bitcoin is actually recovering from a significant "freefall" that started after it hit a staggering all-time high of $126,000 in October 2025. The "Relief" $68K: We aren't just testing a psychological level; we are testing the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement of the recent crash. Current Sentiment: The Fear & Greed Index is actually flashing "Extreme Fear" (around 7–9) despite the price being at $68K. This suggests the market is "shell-shocked" from the 2025 drop, which often precedes a "hated" rally. 2. Technical Nuances for 2026 The 200-Day EMA: Currently, the 200-day EMA is hovering near $93,000. Staying at $68,000 keeps us technically in a "bear market relief" phase until we reclaim the $90K+ territory. The "Wall": Resistance isn't just at $68K; there is a massive supply cluster between $70,000 and $72,000. Breaking $68K is the "handshake," but clearing $72K is the "invitation" to the party.
