However, reclaiming the higher moving averages will be essential to confirm a sustained bullish trend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical indicators continue to support the improving market outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed to 60, remaining comfortably above the neutral 50 level while staying below overbought territory. This suggests buying momentum is strengthening without showing signs of exhaustion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains in positive territory, indicating that bullish momentum continues to build. Although the indicator has yet to signal a decisive breakout, it reinforces the view that buyers are steadily gaining confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Bulls eye the $68k resistance level<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next major hurdle for Bitcoin sits at the 100-day EMA around $68,082. A successful breakout above this resistance would improve the medium-term outlook and shift attention toward the 200-day EMA at $73,982.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If bullish momentum continues beyond that level, BTC could target the longer-term resistance zone near $84,410.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the downside, immediate support is provided by the 50-day EMA at $65,150. A stronger support area lies around $64,004, where buyers may attempt to defend the recent breakout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365717\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/BTCUSD_2026-07-22_11-42-53.png\" alt=\"BTC\/USD 4H Chart\" width=\"1793\" height=\"836\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a sustained move below $64,004 would weaken the current bullish structure and increase the risk of a broader correction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now, Bitcoin\u2019s recovery above its 50-day EMA, coupled with strengthening momentum indicators, suggests bulls are regaining control. The next decisive test will be whether buyers can overcome resistance near $68,082 to extend the current rally.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Analysis,Bitcoin Price#BTC #trades #66K #break #50Day #EMA #strengthens #bullish #momentum1784717786<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key takeaways Bitcoin (BTC) trades around $66,300, extending gains after reclaiming the 50-day EMA.
