Bitcoin consolidates around $75k–$80k as BTC trades near $77.3k into week’s end

Bitcoin was last seen around $77.3k at the end of the week, continuing a consolidation that has lasted nearly two weeks inside the $75k–$80k range. Price structure remains supported by an ascending channel and a $75k demand zone, while reclaiming $80k is highlighted as a key step for a stronger bullish case. Funding rates have flipped back to a modest +0.004, suggesting support is holding without heavy short-squeeze pressure.
