A breakout above this level would be gross. TedPillows noted that a recovery of this amount would result in BTC surpassing the annual opening, which might trigger more purchase demand.

The reclaim of the 85,000 is an indicator of good underlying demand. The buyers intervened swiftly when the market was at its trough, and the market structure is bullish, though volatile in recent times.
