Bitcoin: Dumps Below $80,000

Bitcoin just dumped below $80,000, shedding 2.60% over the past 20 hours and vaporizing $42 billion from its market cap, as $320 million in positions got liquidated in the last day—classic overleveraged shakeout amid this crypto market crash that's testing BTC price prediction models from the last six months.

Zooming into the 4-hour chart, BTC trades at $80,047.93 right on the edge, caught in a bearish trend with the EMA50 at $80,447.8 acting as immediate overhead resistance while the EMA200 down at $76,737.21 looms as deeper support if sellers pile on. Momentum sits neutral with RSI at 41.4, but MACD's death cross at 32.44 screams bearish conviction, and price hugging the lower Bollinger band near $79,972.83 suggests volatility exhaustion—expect a snap back toward that upper resistance at $82,088.59 if buyers defend here, mirroring the sharp retracements we saw in last fall's Bitcoin liquidation events before continuation higher.
