Bitcoin Faces Bearish Divergence as $80,000 Resistance Holds

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital has identified significant technical resistance near $80,000 on Bitcoin’s daily chart, while a hidden bearish divergence has emerged between Bitcoin’s price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Bitcoin Rebounds Toward $80,000

According to the analyst, Bitcoin’s lows in February and June 2026 formed in similar price ranges, with the RSI reaching comparable oversold levels during both periods. After each bottoming move, Bitcoin recovered toward the $80,000 level.

However, Rekt Capital highlighted a key difference between the current market structure and Bitcoin’s surge in May 2026. Although Bitcoin has again climbed toward $80,000, its latest peak remains below the previous high. At the same time, the RSI has moved above its earlier level and formed a higher peak.

Hidden Bearish Divergence Signals Risk

In technical analysis, a pattern in which price forms lower peaks while the RSI records higher peaks is known as hidden bearish divergence. It can indicate that the current upward momentum lacks confirmation from price action and that selling pressure may increase.

Rekt Capital said this negative technical outlook will remain in place unless Bitcoin breaks above the resistance zone near $80,000 and establishes a new, higher peak.
