More than 11,400 BTC, worth about $700 million, moved from exchanges to private wallets in recent days, according to the report shared by CryptoQuant.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bitcoin rebound still faces resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As crypto.news reported, Bitcoin climbed above $65,500 on Monday after a U.S.-Iran peace deal eased oil and inflation fears. BTC traded above $66,000 at press time, up about 3% in 24 hours, with a daily high close to $65,893.<\/p>\n<p>The rebound placed Bitcoin back near the upper end of the $60,000 to $65,000 support area. crypto.news noted that the next key area sits near $68,000, where sellers may try to slow the recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Technical signals remain mixed. The same crypto.news report said Bitcoin still needs stronger volume above $68,000 to confirm demand. ETF outflows and broader market caution also remain factors for traders.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Two market readings shape the outlook<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Brandt\u2019s chart suggests Bitcoin may stay under pressure while it trades below the 18-week moving average and inside a weaker weekly structure. His view does not rule out a longer-cycle recovery, but it points to more patience before a confirmed upside break.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoQuant\u2019s whale data offers a more supportive signal. If large holders continue withdrawing BTC from exchanges, selling pressure may ease further. For now, Bitcoin\u2019s next move depends on whether buyers can turn whale accumulation into a clean break above resistance.<\/p>\n<p>A failed move could return focus to last week\u2019s lows near the $60,000 zone again.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran trader Peter Brandt said Bitcoin remains one of the clearest markets for classical chart analysis.\u00a0 Summary Peter Brandt said Bitcoin still follows classical chart patterns better than many other&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30760,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31961"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31961\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31962,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31961\/revisions\/31962"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
