Bitcoin\u2019s relief rally lost momentum after the cryptocurrency was rejected near $65,500, leaving analysts divided over whether the latest pullback is the start of another decline or simply a pause before a larger recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although BTC has surrendered part of its recent gains, some market watchers believe reclaiming an important support level could still pave the way for further upside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bitcoin Stalled at $65,500<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin rallied nearly $4,000 in a single day after softer than expected U.S. inflation data boosted market sentiment, climbing to its highest level in three weeks before encountering strong selling pressure around $65,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to analyst Crypto Rover, the rejection follows a pattern seen repeatedly throughout the current bear market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that each relief rally has carried Bitcoin toward the Short Term Holder Realized Price, a level that represents the average purchase price of recent investors. Once prices return to that point, many traders choose to exit their positions at break even, creating significant selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto Rover noted that the same pattern unfolded following the October market crash, when Bitcoin\u2019s recovery stalled near $115,000. Similar rejections also occurred during the January rally around $95,000 and again during the mid May advance toward $83,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analyst Merlijn The Trader shared a similar outlook, saying the move to $65,500 resembled a classic bull trap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believes Bitcoin could still revisit the $58,500 to $60,000 range before establishing a more durable bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his view, the $63,000 level has become a critical support zone. Holding above it could allow Bitcoin to build enough momentum for another attempt at breaking through $65,500. However, losing that support would increase the likelihood of another decline below $60,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Analysts See Reasons for Optimism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone interprets the recent price action as bearish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market analyst Jelle argued that Bitcoin\u2019s recovery above its previous trading range represents an encouraging development for buyers and marks an important technical victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, he cautioned that Bitcoin has historically moved slowly during the summer months, making it unwise for investors to become overly optimistic too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Jelle believes the latest rebound is a positive first step, he stressed that Bitcoin still needs to overcome several key resistance levels before a broader bullish trend can be confirmed.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
