Analysis

Bitcoin reclaimed levels near $70,000 for the first time since June 2 2026, posting an 11% surge in three days, while Ethereum advanced 24% to $2,300 after a 100-day absence.

The move triggered $2.99B in crypto liquidations over 24 hours, with $2.74B hitting short positions—the largest single-day event since October 2025.

Bitcoin trades at $69,331.73 inside the Bollinger Bands and presses the upper resistance at $69,700.94 while RSI(14) prints 84.17 in overbought territory; the MACD golden cross at 1,387.92 keeps the structure bullish above the EMA50 support at $64,813.47, suggesting any healthy retracement would likely target that level before continuation.
