Bitcoin (BTC) drop go mid-$60k earlier dis year and don partly recover to like $71,500 but e still under major long-term resistance levels and moving averages wey define trend direction.

Bearish

So immediate price impact likely bearish: expect higher volatility, range-bound or downward pressure until BTC reclaim major technical zones and liquidity improve. Traders make dem monitor moving averages, exchange order-book depth, liquidation flows and ETF inflows for signs say shift dey durable.
