Bitcoin Holds Steady as Broader Crypto Market Declines

Bitcoin's price has remained steady at $78,378 over the past day and week, while the broader crypto market declines. The total crypto market cap has dropped to $2.76 trillion, down nearly 1%, with Bitcoin outperforming most altcoins.

Bitcoin's market cap sits near $1.57 trillion, with daily trading volumes ranging between $29 billion and $35 billion across major exchanges.

The coin is currently stuck in a tight range below $83,000, similar to the setup seen in July and August. If this pattern holds, it may eventually break into a bullish move.

Some chart watchers believe that a clean close above $83,000 could lead to a bigger structural move, potentially stretching towards $160,000.
