Bitcoin: Van de Poppe Eyes Breakout Above $81K

Bitcoin trades at $80,589.98 while Michaël van de Poppe argues the market refuses to extend lower and sits ready for an upside breakout if price reclaims $81,000.

Price action on the 4-hour chart shows a bearish structure with price capped by the EMA50 at $81,090.62 and the EMA200 at $81,742.32, yet the MACD has printed a golden cross at -317.39 while RSI holds neutral at 49.65. With Bitcoin pressing the upper Bollinger Band at $81,085.61 and the lower band sitting at $79,528.65, a rejection here would likely send price back toward the EMA50 confluence before any sustained continuation higher.
