Market impact

Should Bitcoin remain below the 81,478.87 USDT support, further downside toward lower support zones may be tested. Conversely, a bounce above that level could reignite bullish pressure. The broader market context, marked by a "Greed" sentiment and a 59.3% dominance share, indicates continued favor for Bitcoin, though the modest ATR‑based move suggests the breakout is not yet decisive.
