My short-term read
Bullish scenario: If BTC decisively breaks and holds above $65K–$66K, momentum could strengthen toward $68K–$70K.
Bearish scenario: If BTC loses $63K, the next important area to watch is $60K–$61K.
The important point is that BTC is currently near a decision zone rather than being in a confirmed strong breakout.#BTCPerpFundingRateHits20MonthHigh #USPressesSouthKoreaToPrioritizeMemoryChips #DollarFallsTo10WeekLow
