Key takeaways BTC traded around $81,593, above its 50-day EMA at $80,878. Bitcoin’s RSI near 47 and slightly negative MACD suggest recovery momentum remains weak. BTC faces resistance at $85,000, with deeper support at $77,528 and $76,186. Crypto prices stabilize after support tests Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP edged higher on Friday after the previous session’s correction brought all three assets toward important technical support levels. Bitcoin held just near its 50-day Exponential Moving Average, Ethereum found support around its 100-day EMA, and XRP maintained its horizontal floor near $1.300. The modest rebound suggests buyers remain active around these levels.
