Bitcoin: LTF Decision Zone Before Quarterly Close

Bitcoin hovers at $83516.1 in a tight LTF decision zone less than an hour before the Daily, Monthly and Quarterly closes, with higher timeframes showing extreme bullish structure over the past six months.

A 4-hour close above the 21 SMA at $83635 raises odds of breaking higher to challenge the Yearly Open, while a close below lifts probability of retesting $82.5k support; traders will monitor whether any pullback prints a higher low or lower low.

Price action on the 4h chart shows BTC trading inside Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $84420.35 and lower support at $82723.85, EMA50 at $83531.26 acting as immediate resistance above the current level while EMA200 at $79711.06 remains distant long-term support, RSI at 47.51 stays neutral and MACD at -95.42 confirms a bullish golden cross that supports continuation once the LTF structure resolves.
