Chinese investor Eugene Ng Ah Sio believes that Bitcoin regaining and holding above the $80,000 level would be a significant signal of a market reversal.
The analyst described the current state of the market as a painful period, noting that cryptocurrencies are less attractive than the stock market.
However, according to the analyst, the $80,000 level for $BTC is very critical. A recovery towards $80,000 is seen as the first sign of a break from the long bear market that has been ongoing since September 2025.
“The $80,000 level is very important for $BTC. Because this level signals the first recovery since the downtrend that started in September 2025.”
What’s still missing is a compelling narrative for cryptocurrencies, but I still believe that in the crypto markets, price almost always outpaces fundamental indicators. Therefore, if $BTC can stay above $80,000 long enough, I’m confident speculators will return.”
While a cryptocurrency-specific bullish catalyst is still missing, the analyst predicts a full-fledged rally will begin if Bitcoin establishes a foothold above the psychological and technical resistance at $80,000.
According to him, if $BTC remains consistently above $80,000, speculative capital that left the market during dips will return, and the upward trend could continue.
