$BTC is officially stuck inside a major weekly compression zone, and this range is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do: build energy.
Right now, price is capped by the upper trendline near 98,000, while the lower trendline around 86,000 continues to act as structural support. This is not random chop — this is a higher-timeframe coil after a massive macro run.
Clear scenarios from here:
If price breaks and holds above 98,000, the range resolves to the upside. In that case, momentum can expand fast, with 120k–130k becoming the next high-probability zone as higher-timeframe continuation kicks in.
If #BITCOIN loses the 86,000 support, the structure weakens. That opens downside liquidity toward 80k first, and potentially 75k, where stronger long-term demand is likely waiting.
Range markets punish impatience and reward discipline.
Alts will stay selective until #BTC leaves this box. The real move hasn’t started yet — but when it does, it won’t be subtle.
