Bitcoin rotates back to balance after testing the upper range [Video]

This video is the fifth entry in the ongoing Bitcoin MacroStructure Desk Log, following previous desk updates published on January 1, January 5, and January 13.

In the last edition, Bitcoin completed a rotation into the upper range of the two-way structure, reaching the 97,600 area. At that point, the structure outlined two clear possibilities: either price would transition into the next phase, or rotate back toward balance.

Price chose balance.

Over the past several sessions, Bitcoin rotated back toward the central pivot near 88,890, where buyers again defended the 87,000 demand zone. This area has been a recurring reference since December 2025 and continues to define downside response within the current structure.

As of this update, Bitcoin is trading back above the central pivot at around 90,000. The broader two-way structure remains intact. What has changed is not the framework, but how price has interacted with it over the past 8 days.

This desk log walks through:

• How the rejection near the upper range played out.
• Why the return to the central pivot mattered.
• How demand responded at familiar levels.
• What areas now define balance versus rotation within the structure.

The reference pivot and micro levels shown here remain the same as from the earlier desk logs. This update documents how price has continued to interact with the same structure over the past several sessions.
