Bitcoin pushed back above $80,000 on September 18, clearing a level that had capped it earlier this month. The move accelerated during roughly $192 million in crypto liquidations over a single hour, with shorts taking most of the hit. That forced buying added momentum as Bitcoin broke above $80,000 for the first time since September 7.
The chart tracks Bitcoin’s price action across two days. Candles march up from just above $75,000 to an intraday high near $81,000, closing at $80,674. Resistance is marked at $81,128 and support sits at $74,912.
What matters now is whether Bitcoin can hold above $80,000 after the breakout. A close that stays above that level would strengthen the case for follow-through toward resistance near $81,128. If that move fails and Bitcoin slips back below $80,000, the breakout starts to look less durable and the focus turns back to lower support near $74,912.
