Over the last week, the Bitcoin bulls looked to have taken control of the 
price, eventually pushing it back above $73,000 again. There has been a 
slowdown since then, with bears trying to retest the $70,000 level over the 
weekend. For now, the bulls are still open, but there is still the possibility 
that the price will crash again. To that end, the Bitcoin price has an 
important support level to hold if the bulls are actually going to sustain the 
uptrend. The Magic Point For Bitcoin Lies At $70,500 After the initial 
rejection from the range highs, the Bitcoin price is now moving toward a 
crucial level. According to crypto analyst Max Trades, it is now moving toward 
the next major support level that bulls must maintain. This level lies just at 
$70,500, being the major support since the uptrend began. Related Reading:

$49B This key support level is important to hold because it will determine 
whether the uptrend will continue. The range high still lies above $72,000 
right now, so that is where the bears are putting up the most resistance. 
Thus, the price will need to break the range high to continue upward, or break 
the key support to resume the downtrend. Another major thing that is dragging 
down the price is the fact that there is still a CME gap that is not filled 
yet. This CME gap lies below $67,000, making it a magnet for the bears. Given 
this, if the Bitcoin price ended up breaking the key support at $70,500, then 
it would start weakening the bullish structure that started to play out last 
week. Pushing toward the CME gap would mean a break below $67,000, pushing 
toward $66,000 to make a bottom. However, even this would not determine that 
it is the bottom of the downtrend, as there is the possibility of a further 
push down to grab more liquidity. The major liquidity levels lie below 
$65,000, which is where the whales could push toward to make the most of the 
move. This means that in the event that the key support is broken, it would 
only be the start of the trend. The eventual move would be a cascading event 
that could send it even lower. Related Reading: Ethereum Is About To Go 
‘Parabolic’ – Analyst Signals Golden Triangle Formation However, the crypto 
analyst does explain that the Bitcoin price is not bearish at this time. This 
is because the price remains range-bound, and trading above the key support 
level holds it here. “An important point to keep in mind is that BTC is still 
range bound, and as long as that remains the case, price will mostly be 
liquidity driven, hunting both sides.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from
