Bitcoin is showing renewed strength as it tests the $65,000 barrier. The price recently recovered from the $61,800 to $62,300 zone, putting pressure on immediate supply levels between $64,800 and $65,400. This area has rejected upward movement multiple times over the last two weeks, making it a pivotal point for current market sentiment.

On the daily chart, Bitcoin remains stuck in a consolidation phase between $57,800 and $66,800. While recent momentum is positive, the asset is still trading below its 100 day and 200 day moving averages. Buyers need to break through the $66,200 to $66,800 range to signal a shift toward the $72,000 level. Failure to hold this ground could pull the price back toward support.

Market data shows a large cluster of short liquidations sitting just above the current price around the $66,000 mark. If buyers manage to push the price through this resistance, the resulting wave of forced buybacks could trigger a short squeeze. Traders are now watching closely to see if Bitcoin can clear this liquidity hurdle to maintain its current momentum.
