Bitcoin has gained nearly 23% over the past month to stabilize above $77,700, but QCP Capital attributes the rally primarily to short covering rather than fresh leverage increases. Analysts flagged $83,000 as a critical level, warning that failure to close above it could signal weakness leading to potential declines toward $50,000–$55,000, while others contend the bear market has ended following breakouts above key resistance levels. The Fed's maintenance of a 2% inflation target and narrow market liquidity add to uncertainty about the sustainability of the current bounce.
