Bitcoin tests upper structure as predefined levels guide the early-2026 recovery
The BTC/USD report builds on the Jan 1 and Jan 5 desk updates, returning to key daily references.
This video is a follow-up to the January 1 and January 5 Bitcoin desk reports. The MacroStructure framework remains unchanged; the focus is on how price behaviour continues to develop within the same predefined levels as 2026 begins.
On January 1, BTC/USD was still trading below the central pivot at 88,890 and holding just above the lower-structure ceiling near 87,000. Those upper-structure references — including 90,966, 94,326, and 95,804 — were already mapped before price rotated higher.
Since then, Bitcoin reclaimed the 88,890 pivot, established activity above 90,966, and continued rotating into the upper portion of the daily structure. As of Jan 13, price is pressing into Micro 4 around 94,326, a level that has acted as a repeated decision zone since November 2025. Recent pullbacks held above the 90,966–88,890 band, keeping the upper-structure rotation intact.
This update documents how BTC/USD is interacting with structure—where price is holding, where it is being tested, and how the recovery is developing around levels defined before the move began.
