Make CryptoSlate preferred on The Bitcoin price dropping below $78,000 has shifted market attention to whether buyers can defend the $76,000 area or whether the pullback opens the way for a deeper move toward $70,000.Crypto market maker Wintermute said the latest decline followed another rejection near $82,000, where Bitcoin has struggled to reclaim its 200-day moving average.The move has turned what looked like a routine consolidation after a rally from $60,000 into a broader test of market depth, institutional demand, and short-term holder conviction.That makes the $76,000 area the immediate Bitcoin support level to watch.Inflation and yields weaken the case…
