Bitcoin‘s price has recovered some of its losses and now exceeds $65,000 USD as the crypto market turns green. BTC must surge beyond $66,350 to spark a new rally. The price of bitcoin has remained around $63,500. Consequently, bitcoin (BTC) has re-entered the $64,000 resistance zone. The $65,000 resistance level and the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) were both breached on Friday.

Also broken was a critical negative trend line with resistance at $65,000 on the hourly chart of the Bitcoin/US Dollar pair. The big decline from the swing high of $68,762 to the low of $62,300 has been retraced by less than half of the Fibonacci retracement.
