Bitcoin Rebounds Above $81,000 as Regulatory News Boosts Momentum

Bitcoin's price has rebounded above $81,000 on Saturday, following a powerful Friday rally that pushed the cryptocurrency back above the psychologically important $80,000 level. The latest four-hour chart shows Bitcoin trading at approximately $81,055.

The recovery comes after encouraging regulatory news from Washington, where the CFTC has moved forward with a crypto market structure proposal despite the CLARITY Act's Senate setback. This development may have contributed to Friday's buying activity, which helped Bitcoin reclaim $80,000 before extending its recovery above $81,000 on Saturday.

The immediate question is whether BTC can maintain its gains over the weekend or whether Saturday brings a period of consolidation. The four-hour chart shows a decisive recovery from the $75,000, $76,000 region, followed by a move above $80,000.
