Bitcoin is facing renewed pressure after analysts identified a bearish chart formation that could push prices lower in the coming weeks. Btc was trading near $64,000 after struggling to recover from recent market weakness tied to rising bond yields and uncertainty around broader risk assets.

Bitcoin is forming a “bear flag” pattern on the daily chart. The setup usually appears after a sharp drop followed by a temporary rebound before another decline. In this case, bitcoin fell from around $82,000 in May to below $60,000 earlier this month before rebounding toward $68,000.

Crypto Market Sentiment Remains Weak

Technical analysts believe a breakdown below the current support range could send bitcoin toward the $54,000 to $56,000 zone. Some traders are also positioning for additional downside through options markets, where demand for protective put options has increased in recent sessions.

Despite the bearish outlook, chart patterns do not always guarantee further losses. Bitcoin could still recover if broader market conditions improve and investor confidence returns to risk assets.
