Bitcoin technical analysis and upcoming levels
According to expert technical analysis, Bitcoin remained bullish and was at a crucial demand zone of $66,200 at press time. In a 4-hour time frame, BTC has visited this demand zone multiple times since the 19th of July.
The continuous price retest to the $66,200 level could weaken this demand zone. If BTC fails to sustain and breaks down from this level, we may see a price drop to $64,000 in the coming days.
