Bitcoin recently broke out of a bearish pennant pattern that had been forming, with price moving higher last week and testing the 50-period exponential moving average. The rejection at this key resistance level marked a turning point—sellers quickly moved in to defend the level, stalling the bullish momentum. This interaction between price and the moving average became a critical inflection point for the market, suggesting traders are carefully watching how BTC responds to this overhead pressure before committing fresh capital.

The 50-day moving average is blocking the way again. It seems this rebound will have to wait a bit longer.

Will the 50-day moving average once again become destiny? Can we break through this time?

It's the same 50-period moving average routine again, always the same act. If it can't go up, it has to be smashed down.

50-ema rejection always plays out the same way tbh. sellers show up like clockwork, and we're all just... waiting? honestly the "inflection point" framing here feels a bit generous—this is just price doing price things at resistance lol

The short-term flag breakout was pushed back again. This rebound feels a bit weak.

The 50-period EMA is blocking again. This wave will either break out or pull back. I'll bet we'll see the answer next week.

The 50-day moving average is acting up again. It feels like BTC needs to be shaken up a bit more before breaking through.
