The recent price action of BTCUSD shows a clear battle between buyers and sellers near a critical resistance level around 66,000. The price has struggled to break above this level, leading to a period of consolidation. However, the price has stayed within a tight range, reflecting indecision in the market. Although there has been some selling pressure, buyers have been able to hold the price above key levels, indicating that bullish sentiment is still present.
The recent candle patterns provide insight into this indecision. We’ve seen a mix of candles with longer wicks, indicating attempts by both buyers and sellers to take control, but neither side has dominated. This type of back-and-forth movement often signals that the market is waiting for a stronger catalyst.
Some candles show clear rejection from higher prices, suggesting that the 66,000 resistance level is being heavily defended by sellers. On the other hand, the recent green candles with stronger closes near their highs indicate that buyers are slowly gaining strength.
BTCUSD next move will likely depend on whether it can break above the 66,000 resistance or lose momentum and fall back to support levels around 62,000 short term, or 58,000 for medium term. A strong bullish candle breaking above resistance could signal a rally toward 70,000, while a failure to break through may lead to further consolidation or a potential pullback.
