Bitcoin has been stuck in a $75K–$86K range for 74 days. How much longer can this consolidation last? For more than two months, BTC has struggled to establish a clear direction, with price repeatedly moving within the same range. Traders are now waiting for a major catalyst to push Bitcoin out of this consolidation. But here's what makes this situation interesting: Historically, extended periods of sideways movement are often followed by sharp price moves in either direction. The longer BTC stays trapped in this range, the more important the eventual breakout becomes. The big question is no longer just when Bitcoin will move, but which direction it will choose. Are we preparing for another leg up, or is a deeper correction coming?
