Bitcoin’s $65,000-$71,000 Support Zone: Key to Future Gains?

Bitcoin has found strong support between $65,000 and $71,000. The Active Realized Price, which is approximately $71,000, and the True market Mean Price both highlight these levels as critical for Bitcoin’s price. This support zone is considered a strong buy area, with significant demand expected if prices dip. According to CryptoQuant, the Active Realized Price, which excludes inactive coins, identifies $71,000 as a significant support level based on activity. Similarly, the True Market Mean Price emphasizes $65,000 as a key support level. Analysts expect consistent support in the near future if prices remain within this range.

Bitcoin Price Faces $78K Breakdown Risk

Bitcoin (BTC) hovers NEAR $83,000 but faces mixed signals. Technical rejection, volume trends, and macro uncertainty threaten a downside move toward $78,600. A failed breakout above a multi-month descending resistance line has added pressure to BTC’s structure. Despite a short-lived spot-driven rally to $88,500 earlier in the week, bearish targets remain valid amid declining volume and geopolitical tensions. Carl Moon flagged Bitcoin’s repeated failure to breach a descending resistance line that dates back to late Jan., highlighting weakening momentum. He wrote, “The trading volume continues to decline, which means this bearish target of $78,600 is still in play.”
