Bitcoin fell below $77,500 and extended losses to a low of $76,020, trading under $77,000 and the 100-hour SMA as MACD accelerates in the bearish zone and RSI sits below 50, signaling weakening crypto momentum. Immediate supports are $76,000, $75,500 and $75,000 while resistances are $77,000 and $78,300 with a bearish trend line near $76,850, so failure to reclaim $78.3k risks a drop toward $74,200.
