Bitcoin has encountered strong rejection near the $72,000 resistance level, maintaining its position within a broader trading range and signaling weakened short-term momentum. The loss of key support levels, including the Point of Control, heightens the chances of a decline toward the $60,000 range low. Traders are monitoring whether the range support will hold amid bearish technical indicators.
Bitcoin surged above $80,000 for the first time since January during early Asian trading on May 4, 2026, reaching highs around $80,600. The cryptocurrency later pulled back to around $79,000 following reports of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. warship, which the U.S. denied. Geopolitical risks near the Strait of Hormuz overshadowed strong ETF inflows supporting the rally.
