Analysis

Bitcoin climbed from $84,500 to $87,200 in 15 hours, clearing $216 million in shorts before the reversal hit one hour after weaker unemployment data.

The subsequent $3,100 drop erased $278 million in longs over five hours.

Price action on the 4h chart shows BTC at $84,298.39 sitting just above EMA50 support at $84,013.38 with EMA200 far below at $80,426.63, while MACD golden cross at 332.78 keeps the bullish structure intact yet RSI at 49.16 leaves room for further testing of lower Bollinger support at $82,455.93 before any continuation toward upper band resistance at $86,129.95.
