Bitcoin is trading near $77,350 on May 22, 2026. The weekly chart opened at $80,560, sold off through May 16 to 18, hit a low near $76,300 on May 19, then stabilized and started a slow recovery into the weekly close. Down on the week, but the decline rate has slowed significantly compared to the prior two weeks.

The $76,000 floor held again. Third week in a row. That matters.

$76,000 is now tested three weeks in a row and held all three times. That is a real support zone, not a coincidence. Hold it and the recovery thesis stays alive. Lose it on a daily close and $74,500 is the next floor.

On the upside, $78,000 is the immediate resistance. A daily close above $78,000 opens the path back toward $80,000, the level that needs to be reclaimed to reset sentiment.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $635M in net outflows on May 13, the largest single-day withdrawal since January. PPI inflation rose 1.4% in April, pushing rate-cut expectations further out. The 200-day MA at $82,270 rejected price for the seventh time this month. Approximately $78M in BTC long liquidations followed.

The defensive bid at $76,000 has come from the same buyers who showed up at this level twice before: Strategy’s average cost is $75,537, just below current floor, creating a natural accumulation zone.

PCE inflation data lands today. Soft print stabilizes the chart. Hot print tests $76,000 a fourth time.

Support: $76,000 (triple-tested) / $75,537 (Strategy avg) / $74,500 Resistance: $78,000 / $80,000 / $82,270 (200-day MA)

BTC recovered to $77,350 after the $76,000 floor held for the third straight week. Hold the floor and the stabilization continues. Lose it and $74,500 opens up.

Cautiously neutral. PCE today decides which way.
