Key levels traders watch on TradingView:
- Bull case. Reclaim $84–$85 on rising volume, target a retest at $92–$95.
- Base case. Sideways in low $80s until a clear Bitcoin (BTC) signal emerges.
- Bear case. Loss of $80 and momentum spillover push toward the $60s, with $62 seen as last credible support.
Security concerns remain an overhang, and the Drift incident revived that debate at a weak technical moment. Coverage: Coinspeaker.
