Bitcoin Peaks Above USD 81,000: Resilient Demand Absorbs Strategic Profit-Taking

BTCUSD holds above $81000 as demand for riskier assets increases. It reaches an high of $82833 and is currently trading at roughly $81273.

As Bitcoin holds above the USD 81,000 level, its realised profit has recently turned positive, indicating stabilising market circumstances and renewed bullish attitude. On May 4, 2026, this indicator, which adds up the USD gains from on-chain transactions where coins are transferred at prices higher than their purchase cost, reached a one-cycle high of around USD 208 million. Although recent hourly data shows profit-taking levels hitting as high as USD 534 million, the absence of strong selling pressure points to holders calmly taking profits instead of panicking. Though experts are watchful for possible indications of market weariness or local cycle tops, this change from the zero net profit levels found in early 2026 suggests increasing confidence in the current price floors.

 Major support- $76000/ $74800/$74000/$73290/$70000/$67000/$64000/$60000. Minor bullishness only above $81000. Any break above targets $85890/$90000.

It is good to buy on dips around $80000 with SL around $76000 for a TP of $90000.
