<p>Bitcoin price faced renewed selling pressure near $80,000 as traders monitored liquidity concentrations on both sides of the market. Analysts identified $78,000–$79,000 as an important support area, while $82,000 emerged as a possible rebound target.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.okx.com/en-us/price-history/bitcoin-btc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">OKX historical data</a> showed Bitcoin trading at around $80,575 on Oct. 25. The latest weakness followed several sessions of price declines after BTC traded above $84,000 earlier in the week.</p>
<h2 id="h-bitcoin-price-faces-78k-support-test-amid-weak-spot-demand" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bitcoin Price Faces $78K Support Test Amid Weak Spot Demand</strong></h2>
<p>Renowned crypto analyst <a href="https://x.com/TedPillows/status/2114360480953434146" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ted Pillows posted on X (formerly Twitter) </a>that Bitcoin has over $80 million in buy orders between $78,000 and $79,000. He suggested that traders could test this liquidity concentration if selling pressure continued.</p>

<p>Ted explained that buy orders around $80,000 had previously triggered a temporary rebound. However, the recovery failed to attract sufficient spot demand to sustain upward momentum.</p>
<p>The Bitcoin price subsequently remained vulnerable to another decline as buyers struggled to regain control. His assessment suggested that visible bids might provide temporary support without necessarily establishing a durable bottom.</p>
<p>In another market update, Ted identified two major liquidity concentrations around $79,000 and $81,500. He favored a move toward the lower concentration first, citing sellers’ prevailing momentum.</p>
<p>These figures reflected the analyst’s order-book observations rather than independently verified exchange-wide liquidity. Visible orders can also disappear before execution, limiting their reliability as support indicators.</p>

<p>Crypto analyst <a href="https://x.com/CryptoTony__" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto Tony outlined</a> a different short-term scenario. He wanted Bitcoin to climb toward $82,000 and reach the liquidity positioned above the market.</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>Such a move could trigger short-position liquidations or attract momentum buyers. However, a temporary rally toward resistance would not, on its own, confirm a bullish trend reversal.</p>
<p>The Bitcoin price would have to sustain demand above nearby resistance to strengthen the recovery scenario. Failure around $81,500–$82,000 could instead expose the market to renewed selling.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/BTC" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinGlass derivatives data</a> showed Bitcoin futures open interest near $53.56 billion during the review. The platform also recorded approximately $26.49 billion in 24-hour futures trading volume.</p>

<p>These figures highlighted continued derivatives activity despite uncertainty around the next directional move. Open interest measures outstanding futures positions, not a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.</p>
<p>The BTC price therefore faced competing liquidity scenarios as traders assessed support and resistance. Neither cluster guaranteed a particular outcome without confirmation from subsequent price activity.</p>
<h2 id="h-analysts-identify-deeper-buying-zones-between-75k-and-68k" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Analysts Identify Deeper Buying Zones Between $75K and $68K</strong></h2>
<p>Crypto analyst <a href="https://x.com/MerlijnTrader" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Merlijn The Trader</a> outlined a broader accumulation strategy during the market weakness. He identified $78,200–$75,900 as his preferred buying range and $67,900 as a deeper order level.</p>
<p>Merlijn also identified $88,000 as an initial upside target if the market recovered. His approach favored waiting for lower entries rather than pursuing short-term rebounds.</p>
<p>For the Bitcoin <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2026/10/22/bitcoin-price-bull-case-faces-one-big-historical-caveat/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">price</a>, the proposed accumulation range implied further downside before a stronger recovery could develop. However, those levels represented a personal trading strategy rather than confirmed institutional demand.</p>
<p>Technical analyst <a href="https://x.com/CryptoPatel" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Crypto Patel</a> offered a longer-term interpretation, identifying $41,000–$56,000 as a major accumulation area. He argued that a deeper correction would not automatically invalidate Bitcoin’s broader bullish structure.</p>
<p>His long-term targets extended from $126,000 to $300,000, $600,000, and eventually $1 million. These projections remained highly speculative and relied on assumptions that extended beyond current market conditions.</p>
<p>The price of bitcoin would require substantial sustained appreciation to approach those targets. Near-term order-book activity provided no direct evidence supporting such an extended rally.</p>
<h2 id="h-bitcoin-dominance-could-add-pressure-to-altcoins" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bitcoin Dominance Could Add Pressure to Altcoins</strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://x.com/MstrTranquility" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tranquility Crypto</a> raised another concern involving Bitcoin’s share of total cryptocurrency market capitalization. The analyst identified an approaching resistance area on the Bitcoin dominance chart.</p>

 <figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img width="584" height="768" src="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/4e106bdcf2e980e6e30b67608e49f20f1da74850c63b48a91fcffa5d0a913b7f-1.png" alt="Bitcoin Price Dominance Tests Key Resistance Level | Source: X" style="width: 100%;height:auto">

<p>A breakout could favor Bitcoin over competing cryptocurrencies, potentially increasing relative pressure on altcoins. Conversely, rejection at resistance could support temporary rebounds across alternative digital assets.</p>
<p>The Bitcoin price remained central to this assessment because market direction and dominance measure different conditions. <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2026/10/01/bitcoin-price-prediction-citigroup-raises-btc-price-target-to-113k/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin crypto</a>&nbsp;can gain market share even while its dollar price declines.</p>
<p>For now, traders face competing scenarios around $79,000 support and $82,000 resistance. A sustained breakdown could bring Merlijn’s lower buying zones into focus, while a recovery could challenge nearby overhead liquidity.</p>
