BTC recovery: Bitcoin climbed above $67,000 and $67,500, broke a bearish trendline at $67,350 and is trading above the 100‑hour SMA; it cleared the 38.2% Fib of the $71,985→$65,030 move. Key levels: immediate resistance at $68,500–$68,800 (50% Fib); upside targets $69,250, $69,500 and $70,000; supports at $67,200, $67,000, $66,200, $65,500 and $65,000. Technical/market impact: RSI >50 and MACD losing bearish pace suggest cautious upside, but failure to clear $68.5–$68.8 could trigger another decline — mixed short‑term outlook for BTC price and crypto market adoption.
