Bitcoin Holds Above $81K as Brent Oil Reaches March High

Bitcoin slipped again at the start of Friday’s US session, briefly falling below $81,000 as broader risk sentiment softened and energy markets accelerated. At the same time, Brent crude climbed to a fresh seven-month high, underscoring how geopolitical risk is feeding directly into macro conditions that traders watch for crypto exposure. Market data cited by TradingView showed BTC /USD down to around $80,988 before recovering toward $81,600. The near-term focus for many traders is whether Bitcoin can reclaim its 50-day simple moving average near $81,781—an inflection point that could determine whether recent weakness holds or extends.
