Bitcoin is boxed inside a narrow range on its 5-hour chart, with support at $78,478.7 and resistance at $81,932.0. A double top pattern near $82,178.6 is 60% complete, while a shrinking MACD histogram and an RSI divergence point to fading bullish momentum.
Bitcoin traded at $80,382.00, down $898.0, or 1.10%, still stuck inside the same corridor it has held for days. On the 5-hour chart, Kijun support and Fibonacci confluence sit between $78,478.7 and $79,293.7, while Tenkan resistance runs from $81,000 to $82,178.6. Neither side has forced a decisive break.
Momentum is fading inside that range. MACD stays bullish, but its histogram is shrinking, and an RSI divergence hints at possible exhaustion.
Repeated failures to clear resistance are treated as a double top, a signal that sellers may be regaining control. The pattern is 60% complete near $82,178.6, a warning sign for bulls if the local high fails to break.
A no-trade zone sits between $79,293.7 and $81,000, where signals turn unreliable and impulsive positions carry added risk. A break above $81,500 to $82,000 could still lure breakout chasers only to reverse sharply, consistent with the pattern already forming.
Bulls lose their edge if price falls under $78,478.7, while bears lose momentum above $82,178.6. Average true range stands at 875.4, or 1.09%, a volatility level substantial enough that tight position sizing and firm stop losses matter on either side of the range.
