Bitcoin inched higher over the weekend, with bulls intently focused on sealing a pivotal weekly close above $70,000. A successful move would also confirm a reclaim of the 200-week exponential moving average, a long-term trend line that serves as key support. Consequently, the cryptocurrency was poised for its highest daily close in over a week.
Meanwhile, the price action faced consistent sell-side pressure whenever it approached local highs. Analyst Kyle Doops noted this dynamic is “steady profit-taking,” not panic selling. However, this steady distribution tempered the uptrend’s momentum.
Data from CoinGlass shows BTC was up more than 8% on the week at the time of writing. The recent weekend push partially reversed a correction from Friday, which some traders attributed to pre-weekend risk-off positioning. Crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe explained the pullback was “nothing else” but that appetite.
Persistent geopolitical turmoil, however, added a layer of caution to the market’s structure. Doops suggested that while the setup could easily become a relief rally in calm conditions, the current backdrop means “downside risk still hasn’t really gone away.” This macro uncertainty continues to influence trader sentiment alongside Bitcoin’s technical performance.
