Can Bitcoin Bulls Break the $66K Barrier Amid Market Challenges?
- Bitcoin transaction fees drop 64%, reflecting reduced network activity.
- Miners’ selling pressure increases, driving Bitcoin price below $64,000.
The Bitcoin market is experiencing its least bullish phase since September 2023 as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) stagnates around the $64,000 mark. Currently, it trades at $64,310 with a 0.36% decline along the trading volume facing a 7% decline in the past 24 hours.
A substantial decrease in total transaction fees on Bitcoin’s network has been observed, with fees plummeting by 64% to $19.2 million. This decline in fees signals reduced activity on the network, contributing to the current bearish sentiment.
Additionally, CryptoQuant reports a two-month high in the amount of Bitcoin sold by miners on exchanges. Factors such as reduced mining rewards and lower transaction fees have heightened selling pressure on price .
Despite these challenges, it continues to attract attention from institutional investors. Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies (DELL), a company with a market cap exceeding $100 billion, recently showed a vague interest in Bitcoin.
On Thursday, Dell tweeted, “Scarcity creates value,” prompting Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy (MSTR), to reply, “Bitcoin is Digital Scarcity.” Dell then reposted Saylor’s comment , further sparking interest.
Meanwhile, significant movements by whales have been noted. Recently, 10,500 BTC (approximately $675 million) were transferred from an unknown wallet to a new unknown wallet. Additionally, another 800 BTC (around $51 million) were moved from an unknown wallet to Kraken.
Can BTC Surge Past $66K?
Analyzing Bitcoin’s trajectory, it is trading below the critical support level of $65,800, now below $64,000. Falling beneath this threshold suggests a potential 8%-12% correction towards $60,000.
For bulls, sustaining momentum is crucial. The next significant milestone lies at the $66,524 mark, with $69,904 also in sight if the upward trend continues.
