Bitcoin’s rally runs into the $86,500 ceiling

Bitcoin’s stronger weekly close gives the rally more momentum, but it still has a clear ceiling overhead. The price finished above $86,000, its highest weekly close since January 2026, after gaining nearly 50% in three months. The key test is the $86,500 resistance zone, which has rejected Bitcoin repeatedly over the past 18 months, with $82,000-$82,500 as the level traders are watching for support.
