First bear-market trend line reclaim since 2025: Five things to know in Bitcoin this week

Bitcoin reclaimed the long-term bear-market trend line for the first time since 2025, achieving a weekly close above that key technical level — a milestone that signals a potential shift away from the prolonged downtrend. Market behavior around the breakout showed renewed accumulation and reduced immediate downside pressure, indicating improving sentiment among traders and holders. If the trend-line hold is confirmed, it increases the odds of a sustained rally and short-covering; conversely, a failure to maintain the level would likely reassert bearish control and trap breakout participants.
