BTC trades near $82,455 and $82,027 200-day moving averages, a critical level for resuming its long-term uptrend.
Bitcoin is testing a key resistance zone around $82,000–$82,500, defined by its 200-day Simple Moving Average ($82,455) and Exponential Moving Average ($82,027). A break above this level could signal a recovery of its long-term uptrend.
The cryptocurrency last lost the 200-day averages in late November 2025 after peaking at $108,000. A January rebound attempt stalled near $97,000, and prices have since consolidated below the critical zone. Despite this, BTC remains above shorter-term support levels, including the 128-day moving average.
Analysts note that reclaiming the $82,000–$82,500 range would reduce downside risks and attract renewed buying interest. Failure to break through could invite further consolidation or a pullback.
