Variational Founder: Public mainnet set to launch soon, transaction API now open to a small group of whitelisted testers.

Yilihua, founder of Liquid Capital, said in a post that Bitcoin (BTC) has now broken through $80,300 and stabilized above its 20-day moving average. To trigger a second major uptrend wave, BTC must next break through $82,600 decisively, after which it will target the strong resistance level of $86,000. If BTC clears $86,000, its subsequent target levels are $97,000 and $104,000. The recent pullback of BTC near $86,000 is a normal correction within the bull market trend, so even if he anticipates a pullback, he will not go short, as the market could rebound rapidly at any time. He added that he began buying the dip when BTC was near $77,000, but missed part of the rebound due to external factors disrupting trade execution.
