Analysis: Bitcoin retests the 200-week moving average, with $60,000 as a key support level

Bitcoin fell below $64,000 again after the U.S. stock market opened on Thursday, with a weekly decline of 13.5%, marking the worst single-week performance since 2026. BTC previously dropped to its lowest level since early February and retested the 200-week simple moving average. Trader Daan Crypto Trades stated that BTC continued to decline after encountering a bearish retest in the $80,000 low range, remaining in a larger downtrend since last October. He believes that the current market focus has shifted to whether the $60,000 level can maintain support, with the low $60,000 area combined with the 200-week moving average becoming a key area for bulls to defend.

Trading resource The Kobeissi Letter pointed out that since October 2025, the total market capitalization of the crypto market has evaporated by over $2 trillion. In the short term, commentator Exitpump noted that every rebound in the Binance perpetual contract order book encounters sell orders, with buying pressure only just beginning to push prices up, leading to more supply appearing above, and sellers still holding control. Trader Rekt Capital mentioned that on June 13, 2022, BTC touched the 200-week moving average during a bear market pullback; and in the 2026 bear market, BTC nearly touched that moving average again on the same date four years later. He believes that BTC's cyclical performance is "incredible."
