IonQ: 20,000-Qubit System to Break Bitcoin by 2028

IONQ announced a full-stack blueprint showing a 20,000-physical-qubit trapped-ion machine can run Shor’s algorithm against secp256k1 in under 26 days, aligning with its 2028 roadmap target and highlighting the absence of any Bitcoin consensus on post-quantum upgrades.

With BTC trading at $78850.01 below the EMA50 resistance at $78939.51 and a MACD death cross at -229.05 confirming bearish structure, price remains inside the Bollinger band where the upper edge at $80431.97 acts as short-term exhaustion while the lower band at $78013.58 offers the next measurable support; RSI at 46.88 leaves room for further downside before any relief rally develops.
