$65,000: The Last Stand Before the Fall?

The dynamics have shifted. What began as a gradual retracement has transformed into a heavy downtrend, pushing Bitcoin toward levels that bulls hoped not to see again anytime soon. Currently, BTC is trading around $67,000, showing a decline of approximately 1.5% over the last 24 hours.

The technical analysis is clear: the $65,000 level is now Bitcoin’s lifeline. A confirmed break below this support could trigger a cascade of liquidations. If buyers fail to defend this zone, the door would be wide open for a drop toward $60,000, or even a test of the $55,000 area in a catastrophic scenario.

This is also a 7-hour order block. The current short-term structure leans more toward a corrective structure with $65,000 acting as the B wave before a new C wave rally beyond $70,000. A rebound in the coming weeks is therefore confirmed if Bitcoin maintains $65,000.

Market sentiment, measured by the Fear & Greed Index, has shifted into extreme fear. This fragile psychology amplifies every bearish move, prompting smart money to position themselves. Selling volumes are increasing, signaling that short-term traders prefer to secure their positions rather than bet on an immediate rebound.

Consolidation Triangle: A 15% Explosion Coming?

All hope is not lost. Bitcoin is currently evolving within a consolidation triangle structure, a technical pattern that often precedes violent movements. Analysts, including the renowned Ali Martinez, are closely monitoring this compression. A breakout from this triangle could trigger an estimated 15% move in either direction.

Bitcoin has currently broken out of its short-term bearish trend. If BTC regains its range midpoint at $68,200 and transforms it into support, then it will head to $70,000, followed by $73,000 thereafter.

However, as long as the price remains trapped below this mid-range resistance, the risk tilts downward. The current consolidation resembles a waiting phase before a major market decision. Indicators like the RSI show that the asset is not yet in total oversold territory, leaving room for additional decline before a potential technical rebound.

The market is at a crossroads. On one side, the current pullback offers an entry opportunity for those who believe in the long-term trend and aim for a return to historical highs. On the other, this rebound is only short-term and the HTF bearish trend still remains.
