REALITY CHECK — WHAT ANALYSTS ARE SAYING
Daily volume at $107B is below the 30-day average — price is moving up, but without strong conviction. The Fear & Greed index dropped to 46 (Fear zone) for the third consecutive session. Analysts note Bitcoin is forming a "broadening channel" — a pattern that signals increasing volatility and indecision, not a clean breakout. The $80K level is a major pivot. Until BTC closes and holds above it, the breakout is not confirmed.
