Bitcoin’s attempt to break the $70,000 resistance level was blocked by heavy profit-taking, causing a dip to $68,000.

Bitcoin’s Rejection at $70K
Renowned crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe recently shared his insights on Bitcoin’s (BTC) latest price movements. According to van de Poppe, Bitcoin faced rejection at the $70,000 mark, failing to break through this critical resistance level.
Despite attempts to push higher, Bitcoin was unable to sustain its momentum beyond $70,000. This rejection has highlighted the ongoing challenges for BTC in surpassing this key psychological barrier.

Van de Poppe highlights the importance of the $66,000 support level. He noted that as long as Bitcoin can hold this support, the market should remain stable. “I’d like $66K to be holding up as support, and then everything is fine,” van de Poppe stated.
The current market conditions have been described as quite monotonous by van de Poppe. With Bitcoin struggling to break higher and support levels being tested, the excitement in the market appears to be dull.
