Bitcoin price prediction: $60,662–$65,942 range in focus? BTC down 1.85%
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $62,907, marking a daily decline of 1.85%. The pair remains below its key moving averages, indicating persistent downside momentum.
Highlights
- A preliminary US-Iran ceasefire and memorandum to discuss sanction relief has lowered geopolitical risks and improved the macro outlook for global assets.
- While the news potentially benefits Bitcoin’s liquidity backdrop, selling pressure persists and the fundamental boost has yet to impact price action materially.
- BTC/USD remains under sustained bearish pressure, trading below major moving averages, with indicators showing weak momentum and an expected price range of $60,662 to $65,942.
Risk appetite improves as US-Iran accord eases global tensions
The US and Iran have agreed to a preliminary memorandum of understanding to extend a ceasefire and open negotiations on sanction relief, according to Cryptobriefing. This development reduces geopolitical tensions and creates the prospect of improved liquidity and lower risk across global assets. The announcement has relevance for the macro backdrop facing Bitcoin, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.
Oversold momentum and resistance cap upside as sellers dominate
On the h4 timeframe, BTC is trading below the MA-20 at $64,852 and MA-50 at $64,429, while also remaining well beneath the MA-200 at $77,162 on the daily chart. The Ichimoku Kijun line at $64,782 represents immediate resistance. RSI stands at 36.2, suggesting a sell bias, and both MACD and Awesome Oscillator are signaling in sell mode. The ADX remains neutral, with Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP all displaying oversold readings, pointing to increasing seller dominance during intraday sessions.
Sideways range likely as downside risks outweigh breakout chances
For the coming sessions, the anticipated trading range is $60,662 to $65,942, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of a decisive upward move is considered very low, while downside risk remains elevated, limiting recovery prospects. The base case is for BTC/USD to trade sideways unless resistance at $64,782 is broken; a loss of the lower bound would confirm increased seller control.
Previously it was reported that continued bearish momentum and institutional developments were shaping Bitcoin's outlook amid heightened downside risk. The current backdrop—marked by persistent sell signals and a more stable macro environment—reinforces the need for traders to monitor shifts in resistance at $64,782, as a breakout could signal a shift in trend despite prevailing headwinds.
