Bitcoin continues to stabilize within the $70,000 territory, maintaining a significant presence in this psychologically important zone. According toanalyst Kamile Uray, the $70,467 level has emerged as a vital anchor on the 4-hour chart. As long as the price action remains consistently above this mark, the path remains to the upside in the short term.

The digital asset has recently tested a significant resistance zone at the $74,000 mark. A successful close above this level, followed by a break beyond the $76,000 peak, would serve as a powerful catalyst for further gains. Such a move would clear the remaining overhead supplyand allow the current rally to extend its reach toward higher price targets. Source: Chart from Kamile Uray on X

Furthermore, achieving a 4-hour close above the $79,000 threshold would mark a definitive milestone for the current trend. This price action would represent the attainment of the first major high, signaling that the broader uptrendis firmly intact. 

From a broader perspective, the daily chart indicates that the $65,666 level is the most critical support to watch. While staying above this floor keeps the bullish outlook alive, a rejection at resistance followed by a close below $65,666 would shift focus to lower support clusters between $63,823 and $60,000. Ultimately, a daily close below $60,000 would be a major bearishsignal, potentially leading to a much deeper market correction. Pivot Shift Incoming: Market Bias Set To Flip Within Weeks

Regarding immediate price action, the analyst identifies the $73,000 mark as a critical threshold for Bitcoin’s short-term direction. If price action remains capped below this level, the most likely outcome is a continued descent toward the $68,000 support zone. 

An alternative scenario involves a potential sweep of external liquidity, where Bitcoin could spike toward the $76,000 highs before facing a sharp rejection back into its previous trading range. Regardless of whether the move is a direct drop or a final liquidity grab, Killa emphasizes that any upside move occurring around this date is likely to be retraced.
