Bitcoin price climbed back above $79,000 but faced resistance near $80,000 as traders balanced improving crypto market structure against pressures from elevated Brent crude prices and geopolitical risks around the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude remains high around $108 per barrel due to supply concerns and geopolitical tensions, which keep inflation elevated and limit Federal Reserve rate cuts, affecting risk asset demand. Bitcoin holds key support between $74,000 and $76,000, with a potential move toward $84,000 and $90,000 if it breaks $80,000 resistance. Technical and on-chain data suggest Bitcoin may have formed a macro bottom, but confirmation above $80,000 is needed amid ongoing macro uncertainty.
