Bitcoin clings to $67K, but analysis warns of 10% BTC price drop next
Bitcoin (BTC) circled $67,000 on May 19 as liquidity around the spot price strengthened into the weekly close.
Bitcoin Resistance Levels Crystallize Around $70,000
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed bulls maintaining the week’s rally, with monthly gains now above 10%.
Analyzing the obstacles ahead, popular trader Daan Crypto Trades noted that $72,000 now represents the largest resistance area.
“Price cleared a big cluster around $67.4k, but there are still significant levels remaining at ~$68k. Starting around $72,000, that’s where most of the liquidity is,” he wrote in part of an article on X alongside a chart from monitoring resource CoinGlass.
“Below, most of it has been cleared with the recent downtrend, the first notable level would be the ~$60,000 region.”
Closer to the spot price, liquidity concentrations were focused at $66,500 and $67,800 respectively at the time of writing.
Continuing, Daan Crypto Trades highlighted the importance of Bitcoin’s 100-day moving average (MA) as a long-term support level.
“This will be a good indicator to assess medium/high term dynamics,” he commented.
Popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital reinforced the bullish outlook for Bitcoin, suggesting that just a 1% rise in the BTC price lies between the current action and a new bull market chapter.
“BTC only needs an additional -1% decline to make the re-test breakout attempt after Bull Flag with the aim of ensuring the uptrend continues,” he explained by looking at daily deadlines.

“At this point I think we will, at a minimum, mark the 59-60k region,” he warned alongside a chart.
“The blue zone at 62-63k is still an area of interest that may offer some temporary relief, but I think ultimately it will give way.”
Credible Crypto added that altcoins would suffer greater losses if this scenario occurs.
“A drop to 59-60k on $BTC is a 10% drop – on many alts their respective drops will be much more,” he concluded.
