Analysis

Bitcoin accelerated from a $63,300 liquidity grab straight to $64,600 as short-term bids cleared, confirming the fast move higher noted by Michaël van de Poppe.

The analyst's primary scenario calls for a sustained break toward $73,000 once the current leg extends, though profit-taking is flagged at the $65,000 resistance cluster where liquidity thins. Fresh entries remain eyed below $64,000 on any shallow pullback.

With price testing upper Bollinger resistance at $64232.71 while RSI(14) flashes overbought at 71.08, a healthy retracement to the 50-EMA support at $63635.62 seems probable before further continuation; the MACD golden cross at 149.2 keeps the broader bullish structure intact above the 200-EMA at $63728.55. This setup aligns with current BTC price prediction models favoring continuation once $65,000 clears.
