The move followed a 7% decline from the June 15 high near $67,200 to a local low around $62,300 on June 18, a drop that coincided with ETF outflows, geopolitical uncertainty, and a broader flight from risk assets.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh optimism emerged after reports that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to a ceasefire scheduled to begin Friday. Reuters cited a U.S. official confirming the agreement, while Iranian officials signaled readiness to resume diplomacy with Washington if the terms are respected.<\/p>\n<p>The developments reduced immediate fears of a wider regional conflict and helped drive crude oil prices toward an 8% weekly decline, with Brent and WTI benchmarks trading near multi-week lows.<\/p>\n<p>Safe-haven assets such as gold and silver also lost momentum as investors rotated capital into higher-risk assets. Gold fell 1.6% over the past 24 hours while silver dropped roughly 2%, coinciding with Bitcoin\u2019s recovery from weekly lows.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Options positioning and short covering add fuel to rebound<\/h2>\n<p>Derivatives traders have turned a technical bounce into a recovery rally. A large options expiry may also be contributing to the move. Nearly $10.6 billion in Bitcoin options are set to expire on June 26, with market participants closely watching the event after reports showed a significant portion of open interest sits above current prices.<\/p>\n<p>The recovery has also forced short sellers to reduce exposure after Bitcoin briefly entered oversold territory following the June 18 selloff. Such conditions often trigger short-covering activity, where traders buy back borrowed assets to close bearish positions, adding upward pressure to BTC price.<\/p>\n<p>CoinGlass liquidation data shows one of the largest nearby liquidation clusters sits around the $64,000-$65,000 area, directly above current prices.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bitcoin liquidation heatmap | Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/pro\/futures\/LiquidationHeatMap?coin=BTC&amp;type=symbol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">CoinGlass<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Additional liquidity pockets are visible near $66,000, suggesting that a sustained push higher could trigger another round of forced short liquidations and accelerate volatility.<\/p>\n<p>Institutional flows remain mixed. SoSoValue data shows that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $226 million in net outflows this week, extending a broader withdrawal trend that has persisted since mid-May. Although those flows remain a headwind, the pace of selling has slowed compared with the panic seen over the previous weeks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"571\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1781943863_146_Why-is-Bitcoin-price-going-up-today.webp.webp\" alt=\"Bitcoin spot ETF withdrawals continue but have moderated significantly from peaks seen in late May and early June.\" class=\"wp-image-14468489\" style=\"width:713px;height:auto\"  ><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-btc-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">SoSoValue<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A breakout above $64,700 could open a path toward $80,000<\/h2>\n<p>The technical picture has improved considerably on both daily and four-hour timeframes.<\/p>\n<p>On the four-hour chart, Bitcoin is trading inside a symmetrical triangle formed by a descending resistance trendline from the June 15 peak and a rising support trendline extending from the June 5 low.

A decisive move above that area would place Bitcoin above both the triangle resistance and a major Fibonacci retracement level. The measured move target from the pattern projects toward the $79,000-$80,000 region, which also aligns with resistance near the upper Fibonacci extension visible on the chart.<\/p>\n<p>Daily momentum indicators have started to improve. The MACD histogram has printed consecutive higher readings after a prolonged decline, while the RSI has recovered from near-oversold conditions and climbed back above 38. Chaikin Money Flow remains slightly negative but has begun turning upward, suggesting selling pressure has eased compared with earlier in the month.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1827\" height=\"954\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1781943863_809_Why-is-Bitcoin-price-going-up-today.webp.webp\" alt=\"Bitcoin trades near $63,800 after rebounding from June lows, with RSI recovering from oversold levels and resistance sitting near the $64,700 Fibonacci zone.\" class=\"wp-image-14468490\"  ><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bitcoin daily price chart \u2014 June 20 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The bullish outlook would weaken if Bitcoin loses the triangle\u2019s ascending support and falls below $62,000.<\/p>\n<p>CoinGlass heatmap data shows a large concentration of liquidity around $61,800-$62,000, making that zone an important battleground for traders.
