Bitcoin bulls defend $70.5k; CME gap at $67k pulls

Bitcoin reclaimed $73k last week. Now $70,500 is the line to hold.

Bulls pushed price back above $73,000, then momentum cooled as bears probed $70k over the weekend, per NewsBTC analysis.

Analyst Max Trades flags $70,500 as the key support that has anchored the uptrend. He sees range resistance above $72,000 and warns that losing $70,500 flips bias back down. Sources: Max Trades on X, Bitcoinist on key support.

There’s an unfilled CME gap below $67,000. That level can magnet price if $70,500 breaks, weakening last week’s bullish structure, per Max Trades and NewsBTC on funding/structure.

If price drives toward the gap, a test near $66,000 is in play. Liquidity sits below $65,000, where deeper sweeps can cascade, according to NewsBTC macro-fractal note and Bitcoinist on post-peak flows.

“BTC is still range bound,” says Max Trades. “Price will be liquidity driven, hunting both sides.” Source.
