Bitcoin’s recent price movements have rattled the cryptocurrency market, with the flagship digital asset slipping below the $70,000 mark for the second time in just three days.
As BTC dipped below $68,000, altcoins also experienced significant losses, except for outliers like SOL and WIF, prompting discussions among investors about potential strategies for navigating the market turbulence.
Analysts, such as Ali Martinez on X, are closely monitoring key support and resistance levels to gauge Bitcoin’s next move. BTC has found support in the range of $64,750 to $66,700, where a substantial number of addresses collectively hold a significant amount of BTC.
