May range most analysts agree on: $75k - $86k
1. Base case $75k-$85k*: Most short-term models put BTC between $79,978-$85,281 for May. CoinCodex sees $82,192 → $86,820 by May 20 if momentum holds.
2. *Key levels*:
- *Support*: $78k-$79k needs to hold. Lose $76k and it opens a drop to $74k-$75k.
- *Resistance*: Break $83k-$85k and next stop is $90k.
3. *Bullish catalysts*: Spot ETF inflows hit $2.44B in April. Institutional buying is keeping BTC above $80k despite macro pressure.
4. *Bearish risk*: "Sell in May" pattern + Fed uncertainty. If BTC fails $80k early May, some see a pullback to $66k-$70k. Extreme bear case to $60k-$70k if macro turns. 71d796d9df192b066b3aac7204202376
*Bottom line*: Choppy consolidation between $75k-$85k for May. A weekly close above $82k likely flips it bullish toward $90k. Lose $78k and we retest $75k.
