Bitcoin has broken through the $80,000 resistance level and is consolidating above $79,200, with technical indicators suggesting potential for further gains toward $81,200-$82,500 if it closes above $80,500. However, failure to maintain this resistance could trigger a pullback toward $78,250 or lower support levels.

Bitcoin failed to break the $74,000 resistance level despite a 4% surge, with analyst Sunny Mom predicting further declines as the cryptocurrency has yet to form a structural bottom.

These underlying weaknesses suggest the rally may be approaching significant resistance levels despite continued price resilience.
Ethereum faced rejection at the $2,400 resistance level following the Ethereum Foundation's unstaking of $50M in ETH through Lido, a major liquid staking protocol.
