BTC Technical Outlook: Bitcoin Holds Key Demand Zone as Bears Lose Momentum



Bitcoin remains under bearish pressure after a sharp rejection from higher levels, but price is now stabilizing inside a critical demand zone between $86,000–$89,000, where buyers are actively defending. This area aligns with the lower support blocks marked on the chart and has become the short-term battleground for trend direction.

The recent sell-off was triggered after BTC failed to hold above the $109,400 (0.618 Fib) and $116,450 (0.786 Fib) levels, confirming strong distribution at the top. This rejection caused a decisive breakdown below all major moving averages:

20 EMA — $91,119

50 EMA — $95,840

100 EMA — $101,250

200 EMA — $103,182

All EMAs are now stacked above price, acting as heavy resistance and confirming that the broader structure remains bearish.

Currently, BTC is forming a tight consolidation with a minor ascending structure from the local low, suggesting a possible short-term relief bounce. However, this bounce remains corrective unless Bitcoin can reclaim higher Fibonacci levels.

The first level bulls must reclaim is $91,426 (0.236 Fib). A daily close above this level would signal short-term stabilization. Further upside continuation requires BTC to break above:

$98,070 (0.382 Fib)

$103,439 (0.5 Fib)

A full trend shift would only be confirmed with a strong breakout above $109,425 (0.618 Fib).

On the downside, failure to hold the $86,000–$89,000 support zone could open the door toward $80,600, the next major Fib 0 support level.

The RSI at 40.39 shows weak momentum but signs of stabilization, indicating selling pressure is slowing, though buyers are still cautious.

📌 Summary

BTC is holding a major demand zone after a strong bearish impulse. While a short-term relief bounce is possible, the broader trend remains bearish as long as price stays below the $98K–$103K EMA and Fib resistance cluster. Bulls must reclaim $91,426 first to regain control, while a loss of current support could trigger another leg down.
