Bitcoin falls as Glassnode flags $80,000 after hot CPI | FXStreet

Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $82,000 after a higher-than-expected US CPI report, nearing the $80,000 support level with significant buy orders. Glassnode notes $80,000 as critical support and $88,000 as major resistance, with potential selling pressure from break-even investors and ETFs. Despite some onchain strengths, institutional demand has weakened, and ETF outflows pose risks.
