Bitcoin: Trader Eyes $76,200 Amid Ongoing Chop

Bitcoin continues its chop as Michaël van de Poppe eyes a sweep of the lows before any push higher toward $76,200, with price currently at $78054.87. Over the past six months the market has oscillated inside tightening ranges while BTC price prediction models priced in further consolidation before the next directional move. On the 4h chart price sits inside the Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $79706.24 and lower support at $76845.65, the EMA50 at $77341.51 acting as immediate structural support while the EMA200 at $70967.74 anchors the longer-term bullish trend; the MACD death cross at -64.36 signals fading momentum even as RSI at 47.98 remains neutral, suggesting a healthy retracement toward the 50-EMA before any continuation attempt. Bitcoin technical analysis and crypto volatility patterns both point to repeated low sweeps as the dominant short-term behavior.
