What comes next, however, depends entirely on whether Bitcoin bulls can defend the price ground the cryptocurrency has just claimed and two important price levels.
The $78,000 Floor That Must HoldTradingView data shows that Bitcoin registered a weekly close of $82,210 against Tether on Sunday, May 10, confirming that the break above $80,000 was not just an intraday reclaim of the psychological level.
However, the zone between $78,000 and $80,000 was not simply a range that Bitcoin traded through. Technical analysis of the daily candlestick price chart shows that it was a bearish order block, a supply area where sellers had previously overwhelmed buyers repeatedly.
Bigger Levels That Decide The Trend The most important upside level on the chart is $90,000, marked as Bearish OB 2. If Bitcoin breaks cleanly above the $82,000 lower-high zone, this is the next area where sellers may try to regain control. BTC has already broken above $78,000 to $80,000 Bearish OB 1, so the chances of hitting $90K Bearish OB 2 are now high.
As shown in the chart above, a rally into $90,000 followed by rejection would still fit the lower-high structure that BTC has been forming since its October 2025 all-time high. A high-timeframe close above $97,900 would be more meaningful because it would break the structure of lower highs.
