Bitcoin price crossed the $80,000 threshold late Sunday and into today, posting a brief 2% gain over 24 hours to reach a high of $80,750 — a level analysts describe as a major psychological resistance zone that has flipped to potential support.

The central question is whether Bitcoin can hold above $80,000 and extend gains toward $86,000, or whether resistance reasserts…

Grayscale Research says quantum fear is not the main reason Bitcoin (BTC) has slid from recent highs. The firm blames a broad pullback from frontier tech assets instead. In a new note, Grayscale head of research Zach Pandl tracked public quantum computing stocks. They have moved in lockstep with Bitcoin over recent months. That pattern, he argues, contradicts the idea of a fresh quantum threat hitting the network.
