Bitcoin is trading in the upper range of its monthly consolidation band, with buyers defending support near $63,700.

The asset is currently testing a critical resistance level around $66,500, a threshold that has so far prevented a sustained breakout.

This technical standoff follows a period of heightened volatility earlier in the week, when the world’s largest cryptocurrency collapsed to a 21-month low of $58,093.

The recent price action reflects a tentative stabilization after a severe selling spree.

Market participants are closely watching whether buying interest can push the price through the $66,500 barrier or if sellers will reassert control, potentially dragging prices back toward the $58,000 support zone.

The failure to hold gains above the upper band limit suggests that while immediate downside pressure has eased, bullish momentum remains constrained.
