Trader Killa says Bitcoin failed to clear $87,000 again, shifts focus to $80,000-$82,000

Crypto trader Killa said on X that Bitcoin failed once again to break above $87,000, invalidating a leveraged long he had opened on expectations that a second test of the highs would lead to a breakout. He said that 10x long was stopped out at break-even after the breakout failed and price returned to his entry level. Killa said he is now watching the $80,000 to $82,000 range and may consider opening another 10x long there. At the same time, he noted that he is still holding existing BTC long positions from $62,600 and $76,400, which means he does not see a reason to rush into adding fresh exposure right away. He added that he remains bullish on Bitcoin and expects the price to move higher over time. In his view, the current market action is a low-timeframe range, while his own approach is focused more on higher-timeframe trading. He also stressed the importance of risk management.
