Bitcoin is still stuck in a range, and the reason is pretty clear.

BTC keeps failing to reclaim the $90K area. That zone has been acting as strong resistance, backed by multiple technical factors like the main volume area (POC) and the 0.618 Fibonacci level. Each time price approaches it, sellers step in.

Zooming out, Bitcoin is still trading inside the broader range between $97.5K and $80.5K. Right now, price is sitting near the middle of that range around $87K. Historically, this is where things slow down — lower volatility, choppy moves, and a lot of waiting.

The key level to watch is $85.5K.

• If it holds, sideways action likely continues.

• If it breaks on a daily close, price could drift toward the lower end of the range near $80.5K.

For now, this looks more like consolidation than weakness. Markets often pause like this before choosing direction.

How are you approaching BTC during these slow, range-bound periods?
