Concerns are growing over a potential further decline in the crypto market as Bitcoin has failed to turn the $82,000 resistance level into support. According to Cointelegraph, prominent Bitcoin trader JDK noted that BTC remains within a trading range and has failed to break through key upper resistance. Trader CGT echoed this sentiment, predicting a high probability that Bitcoin will break below its previous rebound support level.
