📉 $BTC falls below the 200-week moving average—what do the technicals look like amid extreme fear?

The market continues to weaken. $BTC is currently around $64,635, down about 1.5% in 24 hours; $ETH is around $1,807, down about 1.6%. The market was even more brutal last weekend: Bitcoin briefly fell to around $63,320, hitting a several-month low, with a weekly loss of more than 13%. Ethereum was down nearly 18% for the week.

📊 A few key technical signals are worth watching:

1️⃣ The 200-week moving average has been breached. Bitcoin fell below the area around $68,000 last week, decisively breaking through the 200-week moving average—a long-term dividing line between bull and bear markets. This means the trend on the weekly chart has weakened. In the short term, watch to see whether it can reclaim this level in a rebound.

2️⃣ The fear index has fallen into single digits. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has dropped to 10–12, in the “Extreme Fear” zone. Historically, extreme fear has often coincided with local bottoms, but the risks of trying to catch a falling knife are also significant. Confirming signs of stabilization is more important than guessing the bottom.

3️⃣ Liquidations and fund flows have both deteriorated. About $1.23 billion in positions were liquidated across the market over the past 24 hours, with long positions accounting for more than 80%. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of about $185 million in a single day, marking 7 consecutive days of net outflows. A cascade of liquidations of leveraged longs has been a major driver of this latest acceleration lower.

💡 In terms of strategy, aggressive traders could treat the area around $63,000 as a short-term zone to watch. If prices break below it on heavy volume, the next support level to watch is the $60,000 round-number mark. More cautious traders may want to wait until the price gets back above $68,000 or the fear index recovers before considering scaling in. When market sentiment hits rock bottom, scaling in, keeping positions small, and setting stop-losses will always be safer than going all in.

Do you think Bitcoin will find support around $60,000, or will it continue lower to test the bottom? Share your thoughts in the comments 👇
