Recently, Bitcoin has been repeatedly tugging around the key level of 85,000, with bears and bulls trading blows here. Sometimes the downward momentum looks fierce and seems ready to break below, but it’s forcibly pulled back; other times it tries to push upward but gets suppressed. This sideways consolidation looks tense, but after watching the market for a few days, I’m increasingly confident about the future— the short-term decline cycle is nearing its end.



First, let’s discuss the most critical signal behind this sideways movement. Around 85,000, Bitcoin has tested this range multiple times. Even when it briefly dips below, there’s no sign of accelerated decline. What does this indicate? It’s not that the bears are truly exhausted, but rather that there’s an invisible force of funds continuously "receiving the position" from below. To put it plainly, 85,000 acts like a defensive line—each time the bears attempt to break through, this line holds firm. Strength? I’d give it a perfect score. The formation of this support usually signifies that the market has enough consensus, and large capital is voting with their actions.

Looking at the technicals, the MACD has already issued a golden cross signal, and the bullish volume bars are gradually rising. Don’t underestimate this signal; it’s not the retail traders pushing it up. It’s clearly institutions or big players "gradually deploying." Some might say, does a golden cross necessarily mean an upward move? Alone, it’s not enough to be certain. But when combined with the strong support mentioned earlier, the credibility of this golden cross is greatly enhanced. It’s like a battlefield—if the front line holds the defense, and the rear continues to supply troops and resources, the overall situation favors the bulls.

From the supply and demand perspective, the large-scale accumulation at low levels, combined with the resonance of the golden cross in technicals, forms a relatively clear "bottom feature." This isn’t some complicated theory; it’s simply market participants using capital and volume to tell us: this position is worth buying. How to proceed next depends on individual risk tolerance, but from both technical and capital perspectives, the probability of further sharp declines in the short term is decreasing.

85000 this defense line is indeed strong, large funds are quietly accumulating chips --- golden cross pattern combined with strong support, this signal cannot be ignored --- Instead of getting tangled up in short-term rises and falls, it's better to see what the large investors are doing; they have already laid out their positions in batches --- Bottom characteristics have formed, next we will see who has a steadier mindset --- This wave of sideways movement is actually building a bottom, don't let it scare you out --- Funds and technology are aligned, this is what I believe in --- How many times has it tested 85000 repeatedly, do you really think it can break just like that? --- Institutions are accumulating in batches, while retail investors are still hesitating, the gap in patterns is too wide

85000 this support line is really strong, large funds are gradually accumulating at low levels, the bottom characteristics of this wave have formed, looking forward to the rebound rhythm ahead. If it can't break, it has to rise, it's that simple. The golden cross pattern combined with strong support, institutions have already laid out their strategies, while retail investors are still hesitating. To be honest, the market data looks very interesting right now, short positions have pretty much lost their temper. Large funds are catching a falling knife, what are you still hesitating about? Such signals of bottom resonance are rare, the moment to buy the dip may be right in front of you. Volume is gradually picking up, this is not something retail investors can do. Sideways is just building momentum, waiting for a breakthrough. 85000 is like a hurdle, once you pass it, it will be easy. The synchronization of funds and technical aspects basically confirms the bottom.

You're trying to talk down the bottom again, with the 85,000 defense line so strong that big funds have already rushed out. --- Golden cross? Come on, brother, how was Bitcoin the last time you said that? --- Institutional players are stacking in batches? I think it looks more like distribution haha. --- Anyway, I’ve gone all-in. Either get rich quickly or end up broke. --- This sideways movement is really incredible, watching it bounce around here every day. --- I understand the bottom characteristics. My bottom has been broken through several times. --- Strong support, strong support. When it breaks, it will be time to call it strong resistance. --- Big funds are taking over? Then does that mean I, as a small investor, have been caught? --- Your analysis sounds to me like you're just giving yourself psychological comfort for your long positions.

The 85,000 line can really hold. From the recent trend, I can tell that big funds are quietly accumulating. Unlike previous waves, this time it didn't drop below, with a golden cross + increased volume coming together, clearly indicating a bottom pattern. I'm just waiting to break even now haha.

The 85,000 level is indeed a solid defense, but I pay more attention to the validation cycle of the volume bars—institutions focus on rhythm, and the concept of golden cross resonance is too common.
