Bitcoin continues to face heavy resistance as it approaches the $66,000 to $72,000 range, with recent price action suggesting the ongoing rebound is only corrective. The market shows signs that any upward move may be short lived unless Bitcoin can maintain a position above the $72,000 mark.
Resistance at $65,600 draws attention
Traders are watching the $65,600 level, which remains unswept and is seen as a possible short-term target. A brief break above this point could pull in buyers anticipating a sustained rally. However, analysts suggest that such a move might serve as a liquidity sweep, enticing late buyers before reversing lower.
If Bitcoin climbs above $65,600 but quickly falls back, several lower liquidity levels at around $61,807, $61,540, and $61,305 could become the next focal points. A deeper drop would bring the broader $60,000 to $61,000 range into play. The pattern near recent highs also supports the view of a potential lower high forming, signaling that sellers could regain control if a rejection emerges.
A sustained move above $72,000, on the other hand, could invalidate this bearish scenario and open the door to higher resistance targets.
Corrective structure dominates recovery
Bitcoin’s latest bounce from its late-June low has raised hopes among some market participants, but technical perspectives continue to see it as a corrective rally. Analysis from More Crypto Online identifies the move as an ABC correction rather than the beginning of a new bullish trend.
According to this view, the move from the late-June low to roughly $64,750 forms wave A. The temporary pullback that followed marks wave B, and the current upward price movement may be completing wave C. As long as Bitcoin remains below major resistance points, this entire structure is seen as a correction within a broader downtrend.
Immediate resistance is located near $66,000. Higher up, significant resistance levels are noted at $69,000 and $72,000, with a descending trendline further strengthening pressure in that area.
A rally into the $69,000 to $72,000 region could complete the corrective pattern before sellers potentially re-enter the market. However, breaking above the descending trendline and maintaining daily closes above $72,000 would challenge the bearish outlook.
If support around $62,500 fails, focus could return to $61,000 and then to the late-June lows near $58,000, increasing the prospect of further downside.
Bitcoin’s price structure currently suggests that the recovery is corrective, with resistance around $66,000, $69,000, and $72,000 remaining decisive. Without a clear breakout, the risk of another rejection persists and may direct attention back to lower levels.
