BTC was trading around $64,200 on Aug. 18, up roughly 1.7%, as buyers returned near the $62,600\u2013$62,800 support zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs have helped strengthen the recovery. However, the rebound is not without risk. Leverage is building across the market, while significant liquidation zones remain both above and below Bitcoin&#8217;s current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That leaves BTC in a delicate position. Holding above $63,800\u2013$64,000 could open the door to $65,000 and potentially higher levels, while another rejection could quickly put the $62,000 region back in focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin ETF Inflows Support the Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Institutional demand provided one of the clearest positive signals behind Bitcoin&#8217;s latest rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $137 million in net inflows on Monday. The return of positive flows came after more than $385 million in net withdrawals during the previous week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shift suggests institutional buyers may be returning after several sessions of selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing is particularly important because Bitcoin has repeatedly attracted buyers around the upper-$62,000 region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BTC dropped toward $62,600 on Aug. 14 and again tested the same broader area on Aug. 17. Buyers defended the zone both times, helping Bitcoin recover and climb as high as $64,586 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The repeated defense makes $62,600 an increasingly important support level for the current market structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin Price Moves Back Above Key Short-Term Averages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin&#8217;s daily chart has also improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At approximately $64,210, BTC was trading slightly above its 20-day simple moving average of $63,802 and its 50-day moving average around $63,889.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two averages create a tight support zone between roughly $63,800 and $64,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As long as Bitcoin remains above this region, the short-term recovery remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily Relative Strength Index has also improved. RSI rose to 51.95 and moved above its signal average of 49.14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An RSI above 50 suggests buyers have gained a slight momentum advantage. However, the indicator remains close to its neutral midpoint, meaning the market has not yet developed strong bullish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Longer-Term Resistance Remains a Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the short-term picture has improved, Bitcoin still faces significant resistance on the broader daily chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BTC remains below its 100-day moving average near $66,416 and its 200-day moving average around $69,079.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both averages are also trending downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means reclaiming $64,000 is only the first step. Bitcoin would need to break several additional resistance levels before the larger daily trend turns convincingly bullish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BTC has spent much of the period since late June trading between approximately $62,000 and $66,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A daily close above the 100-day moving average around $66,400 would therefore be significant. Such a breakout could push Bitcoin out of its recent range and bring the $69,000 region back into focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until then, the market remains largely range-bound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">$63,800 Is the First Support Bulls Need to Defend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin&#8217;s four-hour chart shows stronger short-term momentum after the rebound from approximately $62,800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Supertrend indicator has flipped bullish, with support sitting near $63,251.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bull-bear power has also moved into positive territory, suggesting buyers currently have the upper hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the strength of the rebound started to fade as BTC approached $64,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes the $63,800\u2013$64,000 region particularly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crypto analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe identified the same zone as a potential area where buyers could return after Bitcoin encountered resistance in the mid-$64,000 range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If BTC successfully retests and holds this area, buyers could make another attempt at $64,500 and the recent $64,586 high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A failure to hold $63,800 would weaken the setup and bring the four-hour Supertrend support near $63,250 back into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Bitcoin Reach $65,000?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin first needs to break above its recent high around $64,586.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A convincing move through that level could expose resistance near $64,700\u2013$64,800, followed by the psychologically important $65,000 area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Above $65,000, the next levels to watch sit around $65,200 and $66,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $66,400 region is particularly significant because it closely matches Bitcoin&#8217;s 100-day moving average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reclaiming that level could provide stronger evidence that BTC is moving beyond a temporary rebound and attempting a broader trend reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, however, $65,000 remains the more immediate target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin Liquidations Could Amplify the Next Move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin is currently positioned between significant pools of leveraged positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one-week liquidation heatmap cited in the market analysis shows a major concentration around $64,700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That liquidity sits just above Bitcoin&#8217;s recent high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If BTC breaks through the $64,500\u2013$64,600 region, short positions around $64,700 could be forced to close. Those liquidations could create additional market buying and accelerate the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More liquidation liquidity sits near $65,000, $65,500, and $66,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creates a potentially favorable setup for bulls if Bitcoin can generate enough momentum to break the first resistance zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, leverage can work in both directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Large Liquidity Pool Sits Near $62,200<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The downside liquidation structure presents a significant risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The largest nearby pool of leveraged positions sits around $62,200\u2013$62,300. Smaller concentrations are also visible around $63,500 and $62,800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Bitcoin loses the $63,800 support zone, these lower liquidity areas could start attracting attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A move below $63,800 would initially expose approximately $63,250, followed by $62,800 and the important $62,600 support level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If $62,600 also fails, the larger liquidation concentration around $62,200 becomes the next major downside area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes the gap between $63,800 and $62,200 particularly important for short-term traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rising Leverage Increases Pullback Risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest concerns surrounding Bitcoin&#8217;s recovery is the growing use of leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crypto market commentator Rain has warned that increasing long leverage combined with declining exchange liquidity could make Bitcoin vulnerable to a sharper correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When too many traders build leveraged long positions at similar levels, even a relatively small decline can trigger liquidations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those liquidations create additional selling pressure, which can push prices lower and trigger even more forced closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This process can turn an ordinary correction into a much faster move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some market observers have raised the possibility of Bitcoin eventually falling toward the upper-$50,000 region if market conditions deteriorate significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the current charts do not confirm such a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BTC would first need to lose several important support levels, including $63,800, $62,600, and the major liquidation zone near $62,200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miner Activity Adds Another Uncertainty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another issue being watched is Bitcoin mining activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain reported that miners had reduced computing capacity by roughly 20% over three quarters, with some operators reportedly shifting resources toward artificial intelligence infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The longer-term significance of that development remains uncertain, but it adds another factor for investors to monitor alongside ETF flows, liquidity, and leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, institutional demand through spot Bitcoin ETFs appears to be helping absorb some selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is whether those inflows can remain strong enough to support Bitcoin if leveraged positions begin unwinding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Bitcoin Hold Above $64,000?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin&#8217;s short-term setup has improved considerably after buyers defended the $62,600\u2013$62,800 area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The immediate bullish scenario depends on BTC turning $63,800\u2013$64,000 into reliable support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that happens, a break above $64,586 could send Bitcoin toward the liquidation cluster around $64,700, followed by $65,000 and potentially $65,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A stronger breakout could eventually bring the 100-day moving average near $66,400 into focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bearish scenario begins if Bitcoin loses $63,800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That would expose $63,250 and $62,600 before the major downside liquidity pool around $62,200 comes into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin has reclaimed $64,000, but bulls have not yet secured a decisive breakout. With leverage increasing and liquidity concentrated on both sides of the market, the next move could become significantly more volatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, $63,800 is the level bulls need to defend, while $64,700\u2013$65,000 represents the next major test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> This article is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered financial or investment advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin has climbed back above the important $64,000 level, giving bulls some breathing room after several days of uncertain price action.
