*Technical picture*
- *Key resistance*: $70,000–$72,750 zone. BTC just broke above the psychological $70K and Fibonacci 50% retracement at $70,480. Next upside targets: $72,271 and $73,500–$75,000 if $72,750 breaks
- *Support*: $68,000–$70,000 is current consolidation. Stronger floor at $67,500 and $66,000–$67,294
*Bottom line for traders*: Short-term momentum is bullish on ceasefire + ETF flows, but BTC is still below major EMAs and stuck in a $66K–$75K range since the US-Iran conflict started.
