Bitcoin holds $74K support, eyes bear-flag top near $80K
Bitcoin (BTC) is rebounding after holding $74,000 support. On the 4-hour chart, BTC bounced from the $74K horizontal level and a bear-flag-linked trendline, while Stochastic RSI climbed out of its lows. Traders are watching for confirmation that could lift price toward the bear-flag top, keeping a move to $80K “open”.
On the daily timeframe, the article frames this as a potential trend reversal. Bitcoin is attempting to break a near 7-month bear-market trendline, with the 50-day SMA rising and a possible re-cross above the 100-day SMA. The 100-day SMA is also described as supportive. RSI is moving up within a rising channel, though a descending RSI trendline that previously rejected price may need to be cleared again.
On the weekly chart, the bullish case depends on confirmation: a weekly close above the key trendline. Fibonacci levels highlight the 0.786 retracement as a key reference, with price holding above it despite occasional wicks. A confirmed weekly RSI breakout from a descending trendline would signal room for a larger upside rally, though sideways consolidation remains possible.
Key risk remains headline-driven volatility. Unexpected negative Middle East news could quickly reverse momentum and trigger a retest of support levels. For trading, BTC near $74K support and the next resistance area around $75K–$76K remain the near-term decision points.
Bullish
Both articles describe the same setup: Bitcoin holding $74K support and showing improving momentum, with a possible move toward the bear-flag top and higher targets around $80K. The later update adds more concrete multi-timeframe confirmation signals—daily trendline break, rising 50-day SMA, potential re-cross above the 100-day SMA, and weekly structure based on a trendline/RSI confirmation. While risks remain (especially headline-driven volatility that could cause a quick retest), the balance of indicators across 4H, daily, and weekly leans toward a potential upside continuation, provided BTC can clear nearby resistance zones around $75K–$76K and secure confirmation on the weekly close.
