Bitcoin struggles to break above $80,000 as US demand fluctuates

Bitcoin has repeatedly failed to sustain a breakout above $80,000 as US demand has fluctuated. Variable spot ETF flows and intermittent institutional buying have produced inconsistent liquidity, leaving the market range-bound and momentum muted. Macro pressures and profit-taking are further dampening sustained upward pressure. The implication is that upside momentum is fragile, increasing the likelihood of short-term consolidation and heightened volatility until US inflows stabilize or stronger directional catalysts appear.
