What happened
Bitcoin remains in a post-breakout consolidation phase following its August rally, but buyers have struggled to sustain momentum above $80K, according to CryptoPotato.

CryptoPotato noted that Bitcoin's daily structure remains stronger than before the August breakout, holding above the former $72K-$74.5K resistance zone and both moving averages. The asset continues to trade within a gradually ascending channel, with its lower boundary around $76K-$77K, which the outlet described as the most important nearby structural support.
