A TradingView analyst has published a bearish continuation setup for Bitcoin after the cryptocurrency rejected resistance between $64,500 and $64,700. The analysis identifies $62,200 as the first downside target, with a deeper target zone between $60,700 and $61,000 if selling pressure continues. Bitcoin was trading around $65,101 at the time of writing, testing the resistance area that the bearish setup treats as a ceiling.
TradingView Analyst Maps Bitcoin Downside Targets
The TradingView post, titled "BTCUSDT -- Bearish Continuation Setup," argues that Bitcoin showed weakness after rejecting a descending trendline and resistance around $64,500 to $64,700. The analyst says sellers remain in control while price stays below that dynamic resistance structure.
The setup's near-term map identifies $62,200 as the first downside level if BTC breaks below current support. The analysis then points to $61,000, with $60,700 described as the main target zone. The proposed invalidation level is above $64,700.
Bitcoin's current trading level around $65,101 means the market is testing the area that the bearish setup treated as a ceiling. The analysis notes that a clean hold above that band would weaken the short continuation argument, while a failed breakout back below it would keep the bearish map active.
Bitcoin Tests $64,700 Resistance Level
The $64,500-$64,700 zone represents a key decision point in the technical setup. If Bitcoin can turn this area into a floor, traders may start looking for a broader relief move. If the level becomes another failed reclaim, it would suggest the market is still absorbing overhead supply.
The setup comes after Bitcoin traded in a range with an intraday low around $63,226 and a high near $65,123. The analysis notes that this range is tight enough to make leverage positioning vulnerable on both sides, particularly if price moves quickly through the highlighted levels.
Analyst Outlines Bearish Scenario Confirmation Requirements
The bearish scenario requires confirmation beyond a single rejection, particularly as BTC is already challenging the invalidation area. The analyst states that a cleaner signal would be a loss of the reclaimed resistance zone, followed by a move toward $62,200.
The analysis presents traders with a decision point: Bitcoin above $64,700 shifts pressure back onto bears, while Bitcoin back below that region brings the $62,200 and $60,700-$61,000 downside zones back into focus.
