Bitcoin traded near $77,000 on April 18 as analyst CryptoPatel pointed to a decision zone just below $80,000. In a post on X, he said a higher-time-frame close above $79,300 could open the way to the next bearish order block near $90,000. He also said rejection in the same area could place $60,000 back in focus. The accompanying daily chart showed the price inside the first bearish order block during the latest move.
Will Bitcoin clear $80,000 and hold it long enough to put $90,000 in play?
The chart, labeled Bitcoin/USDT perpetuals on the daily timeframe, showed Bitcoin closing near $77,146. It marked the current zone as the first bearish order block. As a result, price sat near resistance while approaching the $79,289 area.
At the same time, the chart traced a rising channel from the February low. Price advanced from the lower boundary and moved toward the upper trend line. Near the latest candles, the chart circled a possible lower high around the first bearish zone.
CryptoPatel linked the setup to a higher-time-frame close above $79,300. He also told followers to watch $80,000 closely. In his post, he said that the level would decide whether the price extends higher or turns lower again.
In the upside case, the analyst said Bitcoin must break and hold above the current area. He tied that move to a push toward the next bearish order block around $90,000. The chart placed the second resistance zone above the first band.
The image also showed a higher marker near $97,900. It labeled that level as a change of character zone, with a note that a higher-time-frame close above it would be bullish. Even so, the X post kept the immediate focus on the first test.
For now, the trigger remained the same. Bitcoin needed a confirmed close above $79,300. After that, the market would need to see the price hold above $80,000 instead of falling back under the zone.

Analyst CryptoPatel also outlined the other path. If Bitcoin fails at the first bearish order block, he said $60,000 returns to the table. In addition, the chart showed a red support line near $59,809 below the rising channel.
Blue arrows on the chart mapped two projected declines from higher resistance zones. One path started near the current order block. The other began near the second zone, around $90,000. Both pointed back toward the lower end of the structure.
He ended his note with a call for patience rather than prediction. In that message, he said the price should show its hand first. Meanwhile, attention remained fixed on whether Bitcoin can close above $79,300 and sustain trade over $80,000.
Bitcoin remains near a key decision zone after trading around $77K. A close above $79,300 could open the way toward $90K, while rejection near $80K could bring $60K back into view. The next move now depends on whether the price can break and hold.
