Bitcoin Price Analysis: What’s Next for BTC as Key Trendline Breaks?

Share:
Bitcoin trades at $76.8k after surrendering the prior $80k breakout, breaking the short-term bullish trendline and retreating to the mid-range of the daily ascending channel with $75k the immediate line in the sand. The 100-day MA near $72k provides a rising floor that narrows downside risk while the 200-day MA around $81k has rejected price, increasing downside pressure and weighing on crypto market sentiment for traders, CEXs and DeFi participants.
Bitcoin is trading at $76.8k as the third week of May opens. It has surrendered the $80k breakout that defined the prior week’s narrative. The short-term bullish trendline that supported the inner rally structure has been broken, and the price has pulled back into the mid-range of the large ascending channel on the daily timeframe. The support zone at $75k is now the line in the sand.
Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart
On the daily timeframe, it is evident that the ascending channel breakout has been invalidated, and the asset has returned inside the structure and is now testing the middle portion of the range near $76k–$75k. The 100-day MA has declined to approximately $72k and is approaching from below, providing a rising floor that narrows the downside risk. Yet, the 200-day MA, currently located around $81k, is pushing the price lower from above, after rejecting it decisively.
