$BTC is holding above the 50 week moving average for the 6th straight week. A 2.39% weekly drop and that support is still holding. Could be setting up for a stronger move higher @AshCrypto has $82K on the radar for the weekly close. I'm keeping an eye on that level with FOMC on Oct 28, PCE and GDP on Oct 29, then BOJ on Oct 30. Plenty coming before I get too confident here Does #Bitcoin hold support and make its next big leg? Or do we get another pullback first? Drop your levels

A weekly decline can obscure what held up underneath it. Bitcoin closed the week down 2.39% but remained above its 50 week moving average for a sixth consecutive week despite a correction in U.S. markets, according to @AshCrypto The next test brings several potential catalysts: the Oct. 28 FOMC decision, U.S. PCE and GDP data on Oct. 29, and the Bank of Japan decision on Oct. 30. For those following $BTC, the account points to a weekly close above $82,000 and the moving average as support for the bullish case heading into a busy stretch for #Bitcoin

JUST IN: Bitcoin is heading into a high volatility week where macro data could matter more than the timeline The FOMC decision on Oct 28, U.S. PCE and GDP data on Oct 29, and the BOJ decision on Oct 30 could shake the market fast. A weekly close above $82K and the 50MA would keep bulls in control, while a rejection could give bears room to take over the narrative Watching the levels, not the noise, with @AshCrypto #Bitcoin $BTC
