Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/peter-schiff-continues-to-criticize-bitcoin-despite-recent-performance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">significant downturn</a> today, plunging to a 10-day low of $66,045, marking an 8% decrease in value. This decline triggered a broader correction across the cryptocurrency market, with the top ten altcoins also witnessing corrections ranging from 6% to 12%. Also, the global crypto market has seen a 6% drop in its market cap of $2.5 trillion over the past few hours.

The correction led to over $500 million in <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/billions-in-bitcoin-flow-out-of-exchanges-as-etfs-drive-supply-squeeze/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">liquidations</a> across the crypto market, with $413 million from long positions and $85 million from short positions, according to data from Coinglass. Bitcoin alone accounted for $138 million in liquidations, underscoring the market-wide impact of the downturn.

Bitcoin struggled to maintain its position above the critical $70,000 resistance level and began its descent after breaching the $67,500 support zone. The decline continued below $66,800 and ultimately breached the $66,300 mark, reaching a low of $66,045 before stabilizing.
Currently, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-etfs-dominate-market-with-35b-whats-next-for-btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC is trading</a> below $67,000 ($66,882), and the 100 hourly simple moving average, BTC faces a key resistance trendline of around $67,300 against the USD. If the trend reverses, the immediate resistance lies near $67,500, with a further climb towards $67,900 and $68,600. A clear breakthrough above $68,800 could signal a bullish trend, potentially leading to a push toward the $70,000 zone.
However, failure to overcome the $67,000 resistance could prolong the downtrend. Initial support rests at $66,200, followed by major support levels at $65,500 and $65,100. A breach below $64,800 might trigger a more significant decline, with the possibility of BTC dropping toward $62,500.
