- Michaël van de Poppe forecasts Bitcoin could rally to $68,000 within 1-2 weeks and continue to $75,000-$80,000 in August, citing defense of the "crucial" $61,000 support and moving average flips.
- CoinGlass whale order data identifies key resistance at $67,000 and above, with principal support sitting between $63,500 and $63,800.
- Exitpump cautioned that declining spot-market volume makes the latest gains suspicious, warning it "can easily end up being a failed auction above value area."
- Rekt Capital previously warned July strength should reverse by August as Bitcoin repeats standard bear-market behavior through the rest of 2026.
- QCP Capital said a macro "catalyst" is needed to propel crypto higher, noting crypto remains "caught between supportive long-term fundamentals and a market still waiting for conviction."
- Tuesday's US inflation data came in below expectations, helping push Bitcoin back toward $65,000 ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision at the end of the month.
Why it matters: Bitcoin's near-term path hinges on holding the $61,000 support and breaking whale resistance at $67,000. A clean breakout opens van de Poppe's $80K August path, but Exitpump's declining-volume warning and Rekt Capital's bear-market thesis leave conviction lacking ahead of the Fed's late-July decision.
