Bitcoin stays in its bull trend, above both averages, wedged in a well-tested range.

Bitcoin is trading at $77,779.70, up 1.28% over the last 24 hours but still down 1.66% for the week. The 20-day average ($77,079.23) sits above the 50-day ($73,353.38), which is what keeps this market classified as a confirmed bull trend, and price is currently holding just above both lines rather than clearly extended above them. The 24-hour range ran from about 76,350 to 78,340, a noticeably tighter band than the 7-day range of roughly 76,000 to 79,830, suggesting the recent swings have calmed compared with earlier in the week. Zoomed out, BTC is up close to 24% over the past month but down about 33% over the past year and sits roughly 38% below its October all-time high — the bull label describes the trend direction, not a full recovery.

Funding on BTC and ETH perpetuals is running only slightly positive, near 0.0013% and 0.0012% respectively, which doesn't show a strong lean from either leveraged longs or shorts at the moment. Open interest on BTC sits at 1,920.56, a reading that on its own doesn't flag a fresh surge of leverage entering the market. The rotation reading is negative at -0.66, indicating capital isn't currently moving out of Bitcoin into altcoins. As of this writing, order flow over the past 30 minutes skewed toward sellers — about 35% of volume came from aggressive buyers versus 65% from sellers, and whale wallets logged 8 sell transactions worth roughly $360,000 against 5 buys worth about $120,000. This is a snapshot, not a standing condition, and flow readings like this can flip within the hour.

The floor beneath current price has been tested heavily, on the order of dozens of touches, while the ceiling above has been tested roughly half as often, making it the comparatively softer of the two boundaries. Price is sitting closer to the floor than to the ceiling right now, inside a band that has narrowed over the last day relative to the wider swing seen across the past week. Neither side of this range has given way decisively in either direction recently, so the more accurate read is a market consolidating within an established range rather than breaking out of it.
