Bitcoin Slips Below $67,000 — Short-Term Correction Warning

Selling Pressure Returns

Bitcoin slipped to $66,890 this morning after losing the psychological $67,000 support. The drop coincided with $142 million in outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs in the previous session.

Negative Drivers

  • Profit-taking after the run from $60,000 to nearly $72,000
  • Risk-off positioning ahead of the FOMC
  • On-chain volume down 18% week-on-week
  • Perpetual futures funding rate flipping negative — bears are in control short term

Key Price Zones

On the daily chart, important levels:

  • Support 1: $66,000 (4H 200-MA)
  • Support 2: $64,500 (April accumulation zone)
  • Strong support: $60,000 (psychological)
  • Near-term resistance: $68,500

Scenarios

Neutral → bearish: A daily close below $66,000 likely opens a retest of $64,500 within a few sessions. That zone aligns with a major demand cluster from the pre-halving phase.

Recovery: Reclaiming $68,500 would invalidate the bearish setup and clear the path back to $70,500.

Risk Notes

Traders should be cautious with leverage right now — Bitcoin volatility tends to spike around macro events. Exness offers BTC/USD with flexible leverage and decent liquidity for moderate sizing.
