Bitcoin Hits Weekly High Amid Improved Risk Sentiment

Bitcoin rose to $64,349 as risk appetite strengthened, with technical indicators pointing to potential further gains above $65,000.

Bitcoin Advances to Weekly Peaks as Market Risk Appetite Rebounds

Bitcoin climbed to a session high of $64,349 on Friday, buoyed by renewed risk appetite across global markets. The cryptocurrency found support after Wednesday's low of $60,679, comfortably above the prior week's trough of $59,104.

Technical indicators suggest a bullish shift in momentum. The recent consolidation phase allowed the 200-hour moving average to converge with the 100-hour moving average. A decisive break above both levels near $62,500 on Thursday marked a critical inflection point, with the 100-hour MA now at $62,620 and the 200-hour MA at $62,342. These levels serve as immediate support zones heading into the weekend.

Traders are eyeing the $64,197-$64,955 range as the next resistance cluster, with a sustained move above this area potentially targeting the 38.2% retracement of the May-June decline at $68,168. Conversely, a drop below the moving averages could see renewed selling pressure toward the week's low at $60,679 and the June 5 low of $59,104.

Implications for Traders

The improved technical structure offers a cautiously optimistic outlook for BTCUSD, though volatility remains elevated. The 29% decline from the May 6 high to June 5 low leaves room for corrective upside, but traders should monitor key support levels closely. Risk sentiment continues to drive crypto flows, with broader equity and commodity markets influencing directional bias.
