Bitcoin holds $60K support as analysts split on $67K breakout path
Bitcoin held the $60,000-$63,700 support zone as TradingView analysts published conflicting outlooks targeting either a $67,000 recovery or a breakdown to $53,850.
"Bitcoin's double-bottom near $60,000 mirrors the late-2022 structure that preceded a multi-month rebound," analyst Jelle said in a June 15 post on X.
The conflicting views emerge as BTC trades near $66,500, up 4.5 percent over 24 hours as of 18:00 UTC on June 19, according to CoinGecko. The recovery follows a 13.25 percent rebound from a local low below $60,000 after a preliminary US-Iran truce revived risk appetite across global markets. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index remains in extreme fear territory at 14, reflecting lingering caution despite the bounce.
On the bullish side, Bitcoin's three-day chart shows a potential double-bottom reversal with the neckline near $81,000. A decisive close above that level would confirm the pattern and open the door to a measured move toward $108,000 by August or September, per TradingView data. The weekly relative strength index also shows a bullish divergence — BTC made a lower low near $60,000 while RSI formed a higher low, signaling weakening selling momentum.
On the bearish side, Bitcoin's short-term chart shows a bear flag pattern with resistance near $66,700, where the 20-day exponential moving average converges with the flag's upper trend line. A rejection from this zone could send BTC back toward $63,600, with a breakdown below the flag's lower trend line targeting $53,850, or about 20 percent below current prices. Declining volume during the flag's formation suggests the rebound may be corrective rather than impulsive.
Whale selling adds to the downside risk. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfrost noted that inflows to Binance from holders with over 100,000 BTC averaged 3,200 BTC per day over the past month, up from 1,200 BTC at the end of April. "This trend suggests that many large holders increased their selling activity, or at least their willingness to sell, during the recent downturn," he wrote in a June 15 note.
The conflicting technical signals come as the Federal Reserve's June policy meeting — the first under new Chair Kevin Warsh — concluded this week with no rate change, though markets have priced in one or more rate hikes before year-end. For Bitcoin, the $60,000-$63,700 zone remains the key battleground. A weekly close below $60,000 would weaken the bullish double-bottom setup, while a breakout above $67,000 could reignite momentum toward the 20-week EMA at $74,500.
