Why Bitcoin Can't Break Free From $80,000

A bullish trend is just a matter of time

Past performance of any asset is no guarantee of future results. Even Bitcoin is no exception.

And just to reiterate, we are still in the bear market, meaning the price should be declining as we will go on a consolidation phase.

You have pointed out something that many of us are missing. We are focusing too much on macroeconomic factors, from geopolitics to inflation or the Fed appointing a new chairman, and forgetting that the bear market is not over yet. So, it is not surprising that Bitcoin is still struggling to move higher.

In a bear market, what we need to do is focus on accumulation, rather than setting unrealistic expectation and hoping for a strong price surge in the short term.

It seems Bitcoin is correcting by 75k again. And after that, there is a great potential for growth. The current situation is Almost 15% of the total Bitcoin volume is currently concentrated just above the 200-day moving average at around 83-85 thousand dollars.
I believe that in the event of a breakdown of the $85,000 mark, growth to $95,000 will occur fairly quickly. The cost of acquisition from long-term holders (TMM) and strategic holders (STH) remains a key support at around $77k. Now it seems that the moment of truth has come and it turns out that this is all a correction or it will fall below 75k.

So what if Bitcoin can't break free from $80,000? That will not be a problem. You gets more time accumulating Bitcoin and buying at a low.

That is something the investors wants and they already takes their part and hodl it. Bitcoin will break free from $80,000 and even will be back to $125,000 so no need to worry and just take your time and enjoy the ride.

Bitcoin drop below $77,000 and now is at $76,000 level so this could be a good time to buy more. You should not worry and stick to your plan. But if you are a trader, you should analyze deeper to finds your entry.

This month we saw that the price of Bitcoin went above $80k and it gave a positive signal to the market. But it did not last long, rather after a few days of being above 80 thousand, it fell again and the market came down a lot. Basically, after the change of the Fed Chairman, we saw a slight decline in the scientific market, which brought the price of Bitcoin to $76k in the market. However, at present, it will take some more time for the Bitcoin market to go to $80k because it needs some time for the market to stabilize and it to increase gradually since the Fed Chairman has changed. The new Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh has been nominated, which has affected the Bitcoin market, including the stock market, a lot. However, we have already seen that since the Bitcoin market has now decreased, it will increase again, and the market will return to its previous position.

The new Fed chair doesn't have complete freedom to do whatever he wants. He depends on the economic circumstances, the state of affairs, and those circumstances don't call for printing money.

I think that as we approach the middle of 2026, we can start to accept the idea that we won’t break the $100K mark this year. If it does happen later on, so much the better, but neither the current stage of the cycle, nor the macroeconomic situation, nor Bitcoin’s performance this year suggest that will be the case.

Their expectation exceed if they think that the new Fed chairman can immediately do lots of good things on Bitcoin, but the fact that he depends on those situations you have mention still everything depends on the policy they implement.

$100k seems unrealistic to happen this year, there are lots of issues happening which affect the growth of Bitcoin.

Maybe safe to say that we might go stable playing at current rate. But who knows there's sudden changes and let see if this year Bitcoin will show us some surprising pumps.

I see where you're coming from mate, and honestly with the way things are around the world right now, I can understand why bitcoin hitting $100k this year feels unrealistic. But at the same time, some of these same issues you’re talking about could actually end up helping Bitcoin in some crazy kind of way. The wars that are happening, all the tension between countries, inflation, uncertainty in different economies, and debt issues are making a lot of people question how stable things really are. You know, Bitcoin has always been strange like that, people have written it off so many times before, saying that there's no way it goes higher, then out of nowhere the whole mood of the market changes. Short term, all these global issues can definitely create fear and slow things down, no doubt about that. But over time, those same issues can also push more attention and money towards Bitcoin. I’m not saying $100k is definitely happening, I just think it’s too early to completely shut the door on it.

But you forget one thing: we are still in the bear market. Although the market seems to be going up at the first quarter or even in the next, but it doesn't discount the fact that it's possible that we will be shifting to full bearish sentiments in the next coming months.

So I would tend to be on the side of not hitting $100k this year because of that. Of course, there are a lot of things that we might not see, but basing on what history tells us, most likely that this year and the next, the price might go down as low as $50k-$60k.

People just want bitcoin price to be pumping, and any slight reduction in bitcoin price, they going to be complaining. We should know that bitcoin price cant just keep on increasing, time will come which we going to experience reduction in market, and some times bitcoin price will be within a particular price range.

I don’t know why the Op is complaining just because bitcoin has not been able to break $80k, I don’t even think that should be what we going to be worried about, just give bitcoin some time, and we going to see the price above $80k, but we should know that correction is normal in market which is what’s happening right now.

People normally act shocked when bitcoin price decline as if Bitcoin has promised them up trend only. Everything happening now is not new, history shows that bitcoin is just repeating cycles but people tends to forget how market actually work. Each time correction happens, we react as if it's the first time we are witnessing it. Correction is one of the market features and we should not panic over little shake in market. It's a support that makes our next movement stronger. If we panic over little -%, then we should not jubilate over +%. If you want to win, then DCA should get you covered instead of complaining.

Very soon it will cross $80000 with no doubt, currently very less new people are joining and so many factors which is effecting Bitcoin price directly, but definitely within two to three months we can see a up shift breaking BTC break $80000 or create a new ATH.

Currently the price of bitcoin is below $80,000, which I expect it to close at that level at the end of the month. The price has a chance of going higher, but not based on the new people coming into the market, as I don't see much value they are creating. If there is no negative news that will affect the market, we should give it a small time; breaking above $80k won't be a problem in little time, but I just don't see that happening this month.

Yeah, but still, Bitcoin is following its four-year cycle in one way or another, and sometimes I really feel that it is a miracle how Bitcoin respects its bull and bear cycle despite changing world conditions. We have Covid, US-Iran War, and all sorts of changing political conditions in the past and present, but still Bitcoin makes its all-time high every year and then makes it low in the bear market in the next year after the bull season.

In the short term, bitcoin cannot follow the same patterns, but still one needs to be patient. At some levels, the resistance and support are very strong, and it takes weeks or months to break those levels, and 80K is one of those significant levels.

I hope this weekend it will go close to that but still it should take time for such a level because Bitcoin keeps going up and down before the time. This will make the market go up more well although this is enough to affect the market that the war between the US and Iran is not over yet but we are seeing how the market has gradually reduced its price even if it is not clear that it is being applied to anyone. I think Bitcoin will have to take a good pump at once and the price should go up to $90,000 because it is not difficult for Bitcoin to do all this in such a short time.

We are already at the close of the month and anything is likely to happen from now forward, the market may fall or rises on the other side, anything could trigger any of this reaction that we may see, that is why we have to keep up with the market speculations and also check in for our daily candles as well as the weekly in order to observe how the market trend is going with Bitcoin, but I'm perceiving from some indication showing that we could go more bullish and reclaim the $80,000 market value before this month ended.
