‌ is hovering around $63,000 as traders watch key support levels closely.

The market's been stuck in a tight range, and yesterday's $57.63 million net outflow from spot Bitcoin ETFs marks the third straight day of withdrawals.

Analysts are calling for a breakout either above $65,000 or a drop below $62,000 to end this sideways action.

Some are watching for a possible dip to $61,600, while a clean break below $62,500 could trigger more selling pressure.

That said, if Bitcoin holds key supports like the 200-week moving average, bulls could push it toward $64,000 and beyond.

What do you think are we breaking out soon or testing lower levels first?

Technically, it is indeed a converging triangle; the breakout direction will determine the short-term trend, but news flow may be more important.

Stop focusing so much on short-term movements; long-term holders simply don’t care about this level of volatility.

An analyst called for 61,600, so it may really reach that level after all—given that analysts are often contrarian indicators.

I think we still need to watch the U.S. stock market open. BTC is currently too closely correlated with the Nasdaq, so don’t take a heavy position before the consolidation ends.

ETFs have recorded net outflows for three consecutive days, suggesting weak upward momentum.

I reduced part of my spot holdings last Friday and will buy back in after a pullback.

Seeing that the 200-week moving average is still there is somewhat reassuring, but the short term is really hard to say.

After moving sideways for several days, it’s truly a test of one’s mindset.

Liquidity remains weak, but retail sentiment is holding up, so the decline likely won’t be too deep.

In fact, this kind of narrow-range trading is just shakeout, and both leveraged longs and shorts get hit.
