Bitcoin longs rise as macro headwinds persist, with $76K in focus and $82K as a test

Bitcoin (BTC) briefly approached $78,000 on Thursday but failed to hold gains as traders weighed softer US growth signals and tighter-policy worries. Derivatives data showed top traders lifting long exposure and trimming shorts, reinforcing attention on a $76,000 support zone. However, ETF outflows and still-neutral funding rates suggest a quick move toward $82,000 may face resistance.
