Bitcoin Holds Near $80K as Traders Watch for $94K Rebound
Bitcoin may be nearing a local bottom around $80,000, according to analyst Doctor Profit. He identifies $79,000–$81,000 as a key support and accumulation zone, noting that Bitcoin treasury companies and spot ETF investors have average entry prices near $80,000–$81,500. Renewed spot buying and slower profit-taking may indicate easing selling pressure, while the analyst says many retail traders have turned bearish and longer-term holders are largely holding. He sees a potential move toward $94,000 if Bitcoin recovers, with a daily close above the 50-day EMA as a positive signal.
Exchange data shows retail Bitcoin inflows to Binance have risen to a six-month high, reaching $10.75 billion on a 30-day basis, up from $5.5 billion. In contrast, whale inflows fell from $5.9 billion at the end of August to $3.8 billion, suggesting large holders are not rapidly moving coins to exchanges to sell. The figures point to diverging trader behavior, but do not guarantee a Bitcoin rebound.
Bullish
The news is modestly bullish for Bitcoin because it describes several potential signs of support near $80,000: renewed spot buying, slower profit-taking, and lower whale inflows to Binance. If large holders are not sending coins to exchanges, immediate sell-side supply may be more limited. The analyst also points to the $79,000–$81,000 range as a support zone and identifies a daily close above the 50-day EMA as a possible confirmation signal.
The retail-whale divergence is not conclusive. Rising retail exchange inflows can indicate that more coins are available for sale, and bearish sentiment alone does not establish a bottom. The Fear and Greed Index reading of 54 also does not, by itself, confirm broad market fear. Similar market setups have sometimes supported relief rallies when selling pressure faded and buyers defended a widely watched level, but support can fail if demand weakens or broader market conditions deteriorate.
In the short term, traders may watch whether Bitcoin holds the $79,000–$81,000 zone, whether spot demand persists, and whether the price closes above the 50-day EMA. A break below support could trigger renewed selling; a confirmed recovery could bring the analyst’s $94,000 target into focus. Longer term, continued accumulation and restrained whale deposits would support market stability, but the article presents an analyst outlook, not a guarantee of price direction.
