BTC holds its uptrend, sitting between a well-worn floor and a thinner ceiling.

Bitcoin remains in a confirmed bull regime, with its 20-day average sitting well above its 50-day average and price trading above both — a structurally healthy setup even after a choppy 24 hours. Price is roughly flat on the day and up modestly over the past week, part of a stronger 30-day run of over 20%. The 24-hour range spans from the high-78,000s to the low-81,000s, and the 7-day range is wider still, showing the market chopping inside a broad band rather than trending cleanly. Sentiment reads Greed at 73, up slightly from a week ago, suggesting positioning has stayed optimistic even as price stalled.

Funding on both BTC and ETH perpetuals is positive but very small, pointing to a market that isn't leaning hard into leveraged longs or shorts right now. Open interest on BTC sits near 1,979 contracts, a current reading rather than a trend signal on its own. Alt rotation is running at a moderate 0.38, indicating some capital movement into alts without a wholesale shift away from BTC. As of this writing, order flow over the last 30 minutes skewed heavily toward selling — roughly three-quarters of volume was aggressive selling, and whale wallets sold several times more than they bought — but this is a short-window snapshot that can flip within the hour, not a description of the day's character.

The floor beneath current price has been tested dozens of times and has held each time, making it the more reliable boundary right now. The ceiling above has been tested far less often, so its durability is less proven. Price is currently sitting roughly in the middle of that band, marginally closer to the ceiling than the floor. The range itself has been wide over the past week, and there's no clear sign yet of it tightening — it's still churning rather than compressing.
