Bitcoin fails to clear 50-day average, slips to $80,297 intraday

  • —The 50-day SMA at $81,831 held as resistance, with an intraday low of $80,297
  • —KOSPI gained 6.6%, but Nasdaq and bitcoin did not follow
  • —The Fed kept rates at 3.75–4.00%; two members favored a 25 bp hike
  • —Binance order books show $3.4 million in bids at the $80,000 level
Why it matters: Failing to reclaim the 50-day average while the Fed holds rates raises the odds of a test of support near $78,000–79,000.
