Trader Notes:

Ted Pillows noted heavy sell walls forming between $78,000 and $80,000, creating a strong resistance zone. He also warned that downside liquidity is thin until around $73,000, meaning a sharp pullback could occur if selling pressure accelerates.

Crypto Lens sees Bitcoin is approaching a critical rejection area near $79,500. He suggested this level could act as a major resistance point, potentially triggering a deeper correction toward the $44,000–$38,000 range if momentum fails.

Titan Of Crypto pointed to early signs of a potential range expansion. Bitcoin is holding above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, while RSI has broken a long-term downtrend—signals that momentum may be shifting in favor of a broader directional move after weeks of consolidation.
