- The author notes Bitcoin's struggle to break resistance despite the S&P 500's new highs, suggesting potential weakness. Repeated rejections at the $74.5K-$76K level indicate strong selling pressure. Failure to reclaim this range soon could lead to a short-term bearish outlook for Bitcoin, potentially signaling a broader risk-off sentiment that could negatively impact US equities.
What’s throwing me off is the bigger picture. The S&P 500 is literally making new all time highs, and yet Bitcoin can’t reclaim this level. In a normal environment, this is where BTC should be pushing higher without hesitation not stalling.
Instead, it keeps tapping the same zone and getting rejected.
That kind of price action usually isn’t strength. It feels more like sellers are sitting there, letting price come to them, and absorbing everything.
I’m not saying it dumps immediately, but unless BTC can actually reclaim and hold above this range soon, it’s hard to stay bullish short term.
Right now, it just feels heavy and when BTC feels heavy at resistance, it usually doesn’t end with a breakout.
