While short-term momentum has improved, the asset is approaching an area that could determine whether the current rebound evolves into a larger breakout or another rejection within the broader consolidation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bitcoin-price-analysis-the-daily-chart\">Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart<\/h2>\n<p>On the daily timeframe, Bitcoin continues to trade within its well-defined consolidation range. The recent rebound has carried the price back toward the major resistance zone at $66.2K to $66.8K, while the broader support remains at $57.8K to $60.2K.<\/p>\n<p>Although buyers have regained short-term momentum, BTC is still trading beneath the declining 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which continue to reinforce the broader bearish structure. The descending long-term trendline also remains intact, adding further confluence around the overhead resistance.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the market continues to favor range-bound conditions. A confirmed breakout above the $66.2K to $66.8K resistance would be the first signal that buyers are regaining control and could pave the way toward the next resistance around $72K to $74K. Until then, the current move appears to be another recovery leg inside the broader consolidation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-D-2-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-usdt-4-hour-chart\">BTC\/USDT 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n<p>The 4-hour chart shows that buyers have staged a strong recovery from the $61.8K to $62.3K demand zone, pushing Bitcoin back into the immediate resistance area around $64.8K to $65.4K.<\/p>\n<p>This resistance has already rejected the price several times over the past two weeks, making it the key short-term barrier. A successful breakout above the $64.8K to $65.4K region would likely open the door for another rally toward the daily resistance around $66.2K to $66.8K.<\/p>\n<p>However, failure to overcome this supply zone could trigger another rejection back toward the buyers\u2019 defense at $61.8K-$62.3K, keeping BTC trapped within its broader consolidation range.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BTC-4H-2-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1444976\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=2560\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=2560 2560w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=300,h=182 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=1024,h=623 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=768,h=467 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=1536,h=934 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=2048,h=1246 2048w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=90,h=55 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=148,h=90 148w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=2000,h=1217 2000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=1600,h=973 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=1400,h=852 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=1200,h=730 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=1000,h=608 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=900,h=547 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=800,h=487 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=700,h=426 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=600,h=365 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=500,h=304 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=400,h=243 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=200,h=122 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f76f0b86-c329-4cf7-741a-a7828bfe5b00\/w=100,h=61 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sentiment-analysis\">Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>The latest two-week liquidation heatmap highlights a significant concentration of short liquidation liquidity above the current price, particularly around the $66K region. As Bitcoin continues pressing higher, this cluster becomes an attractive magnet for price, increasing the probability of an upward liquidity sweep.<\/p>\n<p>If buyers manage to push through the nearby resistance, the liquidation of overleveraged short positions could trigger a short squeeze, accelerating bullish momentum toward higher resistance levels.<\/p>\n<p>While a liquidation cluster also exists below the current market, it primarily reflects aggressive long positioning.
