Bitcoin Tests Key Support Levels Amidst Recent Decline

Bitcoin has fallen below $80K and is now testing a critical demand zone around $77K.

Bitcoin has fallen below $80K and is now testing a critical demand zone around $77K. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $77,927.00, up 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CryptoPotato, with live market data added, as of Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:00:05 UTC.

Why it matters

The current price action is testing a major daily demand zone and approaching the average cost basis of recent buyers, which could determine the near-term trend direction.

Key takeaways
  • Bitcoin has broken below $80K support and is testing $77K.
  • Current price is approaching the average cost basis of recent holders.
  • Market sentiment remains in 'Fear' territory at 34.

Bitcoin has experienced a notable decline, breaking below the $80K support level and accelerating into the $77K region. This price action is being closely watched as it tests a major daily demand zone, which could serve as a critical point for determining the near-term trend.

On-chain data suggests that the current price is approaching the average cost basis of recent holders, which could indicate potential support or increased selling pressure if holders decide to break even.

The broader market remains relatively flat with a total crypto market cap of $2.68T. Despite the decline, Bitcoin has managed a slight 24-hour gain of 0.78%, though it is still down 3.77% over the past week.

The overall market sentiment, as measured by the Fear & Greed Index, remains in 'Fear' territory at 34, reflecting the cautious stance of investors amidst the recent price volatility.

The next key levels to watch will be whether Bitcoin can hold the $77K support or if it will continue to decline toward $75K or even $70K. Conversely, reclaiming the $80K level could signal a potential reversal.
