Bitcoin hovers near $81K amid key tests and catalysts aiming to revive $100K target.

Bitcoin traded near $81,000 after a week of declines, facing critical support at $80,000. Ten upcoming market events, including economic data and ETF flows, could influence its direction. Five potential catalysts, such as renewed institutional ETF demand and a friendlier Federal Reserve, might help Bitcoin reclaim $100,000. The market remains uncertain as bulls defend key levels while bears watch for further declines.
