🧑🚀 BTC over $88k, but still under 120 SMA
Is Bitcoin recovering? This new run seems promising, but we're still under the 120 SMA line. Let's look at the market update.


📈 Market update

120 SMA
Are we crossing the 120 SMA?
Our shorts have been printing profits while Bitcoin remains below the 120 SMA — a key resistance level that’s held us in check for weeks. This simple moving average has acted like a ceiling, capping each rally and keeping bears in control. But that might be changing — fast.
Price action is tightening, and momentum is building. If Bitcoin can decisively break above the 120 SMA, we could see a major trend reversal — with a potential surge that takes us all the way to $100K and into uncharted all-time highs. That breakout could trigger a wave of sidelined capital, institutional buying, and FOMO-driven retail interest.
Even more bullish? Bitcoin is holding strong while traditional markets are in decline. With equities bleeding and uncertainty in the macro environment, BTC is starting to look like a real safe haven — a digital alternative to gold in a time of global instability.
If this crossover happens, it could mark the beginning of the next major crypto bull run. Buckle up.
