Bitcoin briefly slips below $81,000 as Brent crude jumps to $116

  • —BTC dropped to $80,988 and rebounded to $81,600
  • —Brent crude rose nearly 3% to $116 a barrel
  • —S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 0.6% and 0.2%
  • —Bitcoin's 50-day SMA sits at $81,781
Why it matters: Losing the 50-day SMA risks a test of $78–80K support, where the cost basis of spot BTC ETF buyers is concentrated.
