Bitcoin (BTC-USD) topped out last October, then spent the next four months as a falling knife. 2026 hasn’t been much better: January closed down 10%, February shed another 15%, and by the time the dust settled near $60,000, BTC finally hit oversold. It clawed its way back through the $70,000 psychological line and just punched through immediate resistance and the 50-EMA. BTC is trading around $74,700 now and clearly has its sights set on the $85,000 range highs. That is the same level that acted as the floor back in late January before the bottom fell out.
