Bitcoin Weekly Chart Analysis Highlights Key Resistance Levels
- Price Fluctuation Overview: Bitcoin was trading near $79,340 on May 8, 2026, after opening the week at $76,960 and reaching a high of $82,000 by May 6, before giving back $2,700, highlighting market volatility and uncertainty.
- Key Resistance Levels: With Bitcoin currently below $80,000, the weekly close will determine if the market experiences a brief dip or a more significant downturn; a close above $80,000 would maintain the bullish structure, while a close below could invite further selling.
- On-Chain Data Support: Despite the price pullback, on-chain metrics indicate that whale wallets net bought 270,000 BTC over the past 30 days, and exchange reserves are at a seven-year low, suggesting strong buying demand remains and supply compression is not dissipating quickly.
- Macro Factors Impact: The upcoming transition of the Fed Chair on May 15 could influence the market; although current reactions are calm, historical trends show that uncertainty surrounding new leadership often weighs on risk assets, warranting close attention.
