rewrite this title Bitcoin Bulls Must Hold This Level Or Price Could Crash To $65,000 Again

Over the last week, the Bitcoin bulls looked to have taken control of the price, eventually pushing it back above $73,000 again. There has been a slowdown since then, with bears trying to retest the $70,000 level over the weekend. For now, the bulls are still open, but there is still the possibility that the price will crash again. To that end, the Bitcoin price has an important support level to hold if the bulls are actually going to sustain the uptrend.

The Magic Point For Bitcoin Lies At $70,500

After the initial rejection from the range highs, the Bitcoin price is now moving toward a crucial level. According to crypto analyst Max Trades, it is now moving toward the next major support level that bulls must maintain. This level lies just at $70,500, being the major support since the uptrend began.

This key support level is important to hold because it will determine whether the uptrend will continue. The range high still lies above $72,000 right now, so that is where the bears are putting up the most resistance. Thus, the price will need to break the range high to continue upward, or break the key support to resume the downtrend.

Another major thing that is dragging down the price is the fact that there is still a CME gap that is not filled yet. This CME gap lies below $67,000, making it a magnet for the bears. Given this, if the Bitcoin price ended up breaking the key support at $70,500, then it would start weakening the bullish structure that started to play out last week.

Pushing toward the CME gap would mean a break below $67,000, pushing toward $66,000 to make a bottom. However, even this would not determine that it is the bottom of the downtrend, as there is the possibility of a further push down to grab more liquidity.

The major liquidity levels lie below $65,000, which is where the whales could push toward to make the most of the move. This means that in the event that the key support is broken, it would only be the start of the trend. The eventual move would be a cascading event that could send it even lower.

However, the crypto analyst does explain that the Bitcoin price is not bearish at this time. This is because the price remains range-bound, and trading above the key support level holds it here. “An important point to keep in mind is that BTC is still range bound, and as long as that remains the case, price will mostly be liquidity driven, hunting both sides.”
