Will Bitcoin (BTC) Hit $65K?
The price rally was initiated as Bitcoin broke significant resistance levels at $60,500 and $62,000. That pushed BTC past $62,500 to enter a positive trend zone. This momentum carried the price above $63,000 before consolidating its gains. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $62,982 with a daily trading volume of $25.33 billion, an increase of over 22% in the past 24 hours.
Technically, Bitcoin is performing well above the 23.6% Fib retracement level from the recent low of $56,514 to the high of $63,025. It remains above the 100-hourly simple moving average (SMA), indicating a strong bullish trend. Additionally, a key bullish trend line with resistance around $63,500 is forming on the BTC/USD hourly chart.
As per BTC price prediction, if the crypto continues its rally, the immediate resistance level will be at $63,250, with significant resistance near $63,850. A decisive move above $63,850 could trigger further gains, potentially testing the $65,000 resistance level. Further, the relative strength index (RSI) is overbought at 79.24, suggesting strong buying pressure.
On the downside, a correction could ensue if Bitcoin fails to surpass the $63,000 resistance. Initial support is $62,500, followed by more substantial support at $62,200 and the trend line zone. Further declines could see Bitcoin testing support around $61,550 and $60,500.
