#Bitcoin has been doing a great job of trapping both longs and shorts.
Over the past two days, each U.S. session opened with strength before seeing sharp ~5% rejections, creating classic whipsaw conditions.
Despite that volatility, $85K continues to hold as support—but it’s worth remembering that the more a level is tested, the weaker it becomes.
A clean break of $85K could trigger a larger liquidation move.
BTC is now pushing back into the $88K+ resistance zone, where price has been rejected multiple times.
Before considering any longs, I want to see a clean break and acceptance above the orange downtrend line.
Key levels to watch:
• Support: $85K
• Resistance: $88K+, then trendline resistance
For now, this is a patience and risk-management environment.
The recent price action doesn’t offer much edge, so letting the market show its hand is the right move here.
