Uptrend, momentum flattening post-breakout · RSI 56 · price 81,086.70
Higher lows inside an 80.5k-81.6k range beneath the week high.
BTC broke out of the 76.0-78.1k shelf in Friday's NY session, a single-hour push through 80.3k that extended to the 81821 week high before the weekend stalled it. Price has since compressed into an 80.5k-81.6k band: rejection at the 81583 prior high on Saturday, then a lower 81392 sunday high, with dips holding above the 80504 sunday low and RSI(14) cycling back to 56. The hawkish FOMC path (hike to 4.00%, current-year dot to 4.1%) has capped the follow-through, but it has not unwound the impulse — thin weekend liquidity is doing most of the range-tightening.
Support: 80,780.00, 80,504.00, 79,994.00
Resistance: 81,392.00, 81,583.00, 81,821.00
What it said to watch
- Hourly close below the 80504 sunday low breaks the higher-lows line and puts the 79994 swing low back in play
- Loss of ema20 near 80780 would be the first crack in the weekend range's upward drift
- A close above the 81583 prior high reopens the 81821 week high
- Fed's Goolsbee Monday 10:30 UTC opens a dense speaker slate — the first real liquidity test after the weekend range

Uptrend intact, momentum flattening near highs · RSI 51 · price 80,994.80
Range 80,000-81,820 after impulse; lower highs since Saturday's peak.
Friday's NY-open hour produced the week's dominant move — a roughly 2,400-point surge off 77,930 that extended the post-FOMC relief leg up to the 81,821 week high by Saturday evening. Since then the tape has flattened into an 80,000-81,820 range: Sunday's asia base near 80,160 absorbed the pullback, the recovery stalled at the sunday high of 81,392, and price now sits just above the ema20 with RSI(14) back at the 50 line. With the hawkish Fed dot path (4.1% current-year) still the dominant macro fact, this leg has traded as relief rather than trend extension.
What it said to watch
- H1 close above the sunday high at 81,392 reopens the 81,821 week high
- Failure to hold the sunday low at 79,994 confirms a lower low and breaks the weekend range floor
- Loss of the ema20 near 80,740 on a closing basis would flip the range read to mid-range drift
- Fed's Goolsbee Monday 10:30 UTC opens a dense speaker slate; Wednesday's US flash PMIs are the week's main catalyst
