Key Moments

  • Bitcoin (BTC) trades near $76,770 on Friday, staying above clustered 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs and eyeing resistance at $84,410.
  • Ethereum (ETH) holds around $2,456, comfortably above its major EMAs, with upside levels at $2,529 and $2,623 and deeper support near $2,000.

Bitcoin Outlook: Recovery Supported by Major Moving Averages

Bitcoin (BTC) continues its rebound on Friday, changing hands around $76,770 and maintaining a constructive short-term tone. The price remains firmly above the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which are grouped between approximately $71,600 and $73,824 and act as an important technical floor.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 52, having retreated from earlier overbought levels back into a neutral zone. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator remains in negative territory, although its downside profile is contracting, signaling that bearish pressure is easing rather than indicating a decisive upside trend shift.

On the resistance side, the next prominent ceiling is a horizontal level at $84,410, where prior selling interest could reappear if the advance continues.
