Bitcoin (BTC) saw a sudden price surge today, climbing 1.5% to reclaim the $84,000 level. The timing is noteworthy, as this rally coincides with FOMC day, fueling optimism among traders. However, BTC now faces a crucial resistance level at its 200-day moving average, a historically significant indicator that often dictates market direction.

Despite the breakout attempt, Bitcoin has struggled to push past this resistance in recent days, only managing to form higher lows. If the price fails to break through convincingly, this rally could be nothing more than a bull trap, setting up the cryptocurrency for a pullback.

Adding to concerns is the looming death cross formation on the daily chart. This bearish signal, marked by the 23-day moving average crossing below the 200-day moving average, traditionally signals potential downside risk. If Bitcoin fails to hold above this key level, it could confirm a short-to-medium-term downtrend.

While Bitcoin’s recent jump excites traders, the price action suggests caution. If resistance holds firm and the death cross takes effect, BTC may be primed for a reversal rather than sustained growth.
