Bitcoin Stalls Below $65,000 Despite Sellers Losing Momentum: What’s Going On?

Share This Post

Bitcoin is firm, adding nearly 30% after sinking to as low as $49,000 in early August. As bulls strengthen and fundamental factors swing in favor of the world’s most valuable coin, prices remain below $65,000. Looking at the daily chart, this reaction level coincides with August highs.

Technically, if buyers find the required momentum, breaking above this level, it could soar to as high as $70,000, a psychological level, and even break $72,000. If this happens, it will mark the first time since June that bulls have overcome the resistance at their reaction level.

According to one analyst on X, pointing to trading data, there has been a notable drop in BTC sales at a loss over the past week of trading. The Bitcoin realized cap shows that traders losing money over the last week dipped below $5 million to $4.7 million.

The immediate resistance level, looking at the candlestick arrangement in the daily chart, is $65,000. However, the problem is that bulls have been unable to break through this liquidation level despite the high confidence.
