Bitcoin has failed to break through key resistance at $64-65K and bears maintain momentum control with an active downtrend confirmed by technical indicators.
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (1 article). Watching for it to gain traction.
Bitcoin's inability to clear the resistance level that traders were widely watching has reinforced bearish conviction, with the ADX reading at 30.7 and a bearish directional index confirming that the current downtrend carries real momentum rather than being a low-conviction drift. This is not a market consolidating for a breakout — the technical structure points to sellers remaining in control.
Confirmed downtrends with elevated ADX readings tend to deter momentum-driven and trend-following capital from entering long positions, which reduces the pool of buyers willing to absorb selling pressure and can cause price weakness to persist longer than fundamentals alone might suggest.
