Bitcoin stalls below $82,000 as Axel Adler links repeated rejections to SOPR exits

Bitcoin has struggled to break above the $82,000–$82,100 area after three rejected attempts, with price recently trading around $80,400. Analyst Axel Adler argues the ceiling is reinforced by short-term holders selling into rallies as SOPR nears the 1.0 breakeven level. He says a sustained move of the seven-day SOPR average above 1.0 for several consecutive days would be a key sign the pattern is changing.
