Bitcoin slipped about 1% to $79,248 as traders took profits into the $80,000 to $82,000 resistance shelf, though it remains up roughly 2.3% on the week and close to 9.7% over seven sessions. Buy-side momentum cooled as institutions digested the run and trimmed leverage, with technical readings showing a buy signal alongside an overbought RSI. Resistance stacks at $81,121, then a heavier band at $82,500 to $84,700.
