BTC may find near-term support at $80.5K, mirroring late-2025 pattern

BTC is showing a price pattern similar to moves seen from late 2025 to early 2026, with $80,500 potentially serving as a key near-term support level, according to CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost. In a post on X, Darkfost said BTC has been fluctuating around its capital-weighted cost basis, the average purchase price calculated based on the amount of capital invested by holders. Darkfost said that price zone marks the threshold where the average profit and loss of market participants splits between gains and losses, which could materially influence investors’ trading decisions. Darkfost added that whether BTC holds $80,500 as support will be a key variable in assessing its next price move.
