Bitcoin price slips below $63K as Iran tensions shake crypto markets

Bitcoin price broke below the key May range

Bitcoin has already lost the areas of $72,000 and $68,000 before the recent break. A fall below $64,000 and then $63,000 shows that sellers remain in control of the short-term trend.

The price is now trading near the psychological zone of $60,000 to $64,000. This area is important because it is close to previous demand and can determine whether BTC stabilizes or extends losses from deep support.

According to crypto.news market data, Bitcoin traded near $63,753 at press time, down about 5%, with a 24-hour low of around $61,557. The broader decline followed a week of heavy selling that wiped nearly 16% off Bitcoin.

Recent candles have shown strong pressure. Buyers have yet to form a clear base for recovery, and Bitcoin will need to recover to higher levels before a short-term structure develops.

The omission deepens market pressure

Derivatives markets have added further pressure to the area’s decline. More than $1.6 billion in active crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours, according to Coinglass data.

Liquidation occurs when an exchange forces traders to exit their positions because their securities are no longer worth trading. In falling markets, this may lower prices because forced sales add to normal local sales.

The cancellation of the result followed a broader shift in sentiment. Risky commodities came under pressure as the US and Iran exchanged fresh strikes and ceasefire talks.

Analysts are looking at $60K, $55K and $50K

Analyst Captain Faibik said that Bitcoin is sitting above a major eight-year line. “If the Bulls defend this level and build a base, we could be seeing the early stages of a mega bull run,” he wrote.

He also warned that BTC could briefly sweep liquidity around $54,000 to $55,000 before a strong recovery. That view positions the next few weeks as a key period for Bitcoin’s long-term direction.

Ali Charts said that the breakdown below $72,000 put Bitcoin in a vulnerable position. Based on the MVRV price bands, he said the next major support area is between $54,000 and $50,000.

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju also expressed unusual pressure to sell. He said that the cost base for Bitcoin investors is always around $53,000 and asserted that the current distribution phase feels like a huge change of hands.

Technical indicators remain weak

Bitcoin’s RSI stood at 18.69, placing BTC deep in oversold territory. That indicates that the selling momentum is over, but it does not guarantee a pullback by itself.

A strong recovery signal would require the RSI to move back above 30. The recent resurgence of the 50 area will show consumers gaining more control over the pressure.

The RSI moving average is sitting at 35.57, well away from the current RSI reading. That gap confirms the speed of the selloff and shows that buyers have not yet closed the difference in momentum.

MACD also remained bearish. The MACD line is sitting near -2,917.77, below the signal line near -1,584.86, while the histogram was negative around -1,332.92.

Binance volume data confirms selling pressure

Arab Chain said the Binance CVD Confirmation Score reached nearly 0.80, its highest level in four months. The reading came as Bitcoin traded in the mid-$60,000 range during the downturn.

CVD, or cumulative volume delta, tracks the balance between buying and selling activity. Higher readings during bearish periods suggest that selling pressure is supported by actual trading volume.

That’s important because it reduces the chance that a recent move will come from less liquidity. Instead, the data points to the retailer’s involvement during the split.

Currently, Bitcoin is still oversold but technically bearish. A move back above $64,000 and then $68,700 could ease pressure, while a clean break below $60,000 could target $55,000 and $50,000.
