#BTC能否守住6.5万美元? Considering the current Middle East geopolitical situation, macroeconomic environment, market technicals, and capital game factors, there is a certain possibility that Bitcoin can hold the critical support level of $65,000. However, short-term pressure is evident, and the battle between bulls and bears will be highly intense. The key to maintaining this level depends on whether geopolitical risks further escalate, whether macro liquidity expectations can recover, and whether market buying power can effectively absorb selling pressure. The following is a detailed analysis from three aspects: support factors, risk of pressure, and key observation points, to objectively assess the probability of holding the $65,000 support level:



1. Core support factors that enable Bitcoin to hold $65,000

a. Technical support resonating with historical trends, clear market psychological defenses
$65,000 is not just a simple price figure but is supported by multiple factors including technical analysis and on-chain data: First, this level is close to the lower boundary of the previously analyzed $65,800 channel, which also coincides with the on-chain long-term holder cost basis (such as the 10-year realized price at $64,500). This represents the psychological limit for most long-term holders. When prices reach this zone, the reluctance to sell among long-term holders will become apparent, and selling pressure is likely to weaken temporarily. Second, although Bitcoin’s recent dip to around $65,000 shows similarities to the previous sharp drop to $60,000, the market has not experienced the extreme panic selling seen then. On-chain data shows that whale holdings (10-10,000 BTC) remain high, and large capital outflows have not occurred on a large scale, providing substantial financial support at $65,000. Additionally, $65,000 has been tested multiple times recently; after touching this level this morning, it quickly rebounded to around $67,000, indicating some buy-side support in this range and that short-term technical rebound momentum has already emerged.

b. Institutional long-term bullish logic remains intact, mid-term capital deployment continues
Despite short-term market shocks from negative news, the mainstream institutional outlook on Bitcoin remains fundamentally bullish. Leading institutions like Bernstein and Standard Chartered still set their 2026 year-end target price at $150,000, and Citibank has a 12-month baseline target of $143,000. Most institutions believe the recent decline is a mid-cycle correction within a bull market rather than a trend reversal. From a capital perspective, net inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs have shown signs of recovery in March. Data platforms like Glassnode and CryptoQuant indicate a warming trend in ETF net flows, and the overall pace of institutional accumulation has not been disrupted. The presence of such medium- to long-term capital acts as a “ballast” for Bitcoin’s price, preventing a bottomless crash around $65,000. Furthermore, the four-year halving cycle narrative remains valid; this core positive factor has not been invalidated by short-term geopolitical conflicts, providing long-term market confidence and encouraging bottom-fishing at the $65,000 level.

c. Geopolitical conflicts and rising oil prices may marginally weaken negative impacts
The recent decline in Bitcoin was primarily triggered by rising oil prices due to escalating Middle East tensions (such as the involvement of Houthi rebels in Yemen, or potential escalation of US-Iran conflicts). However, market patterns suggest that geopolitical shocks tend to be short-term. If subsequent US-Iran conflicts do not escalate into full-scale ground wars, and if the Strait of Hormuz remains open without significant disruption to oil transportation, the upward trend in international oil prices may slow down temporarily. As oil prices stabilize, market risk aversion and concerns over Federal Reserve’s high interest rates will also ease. The previous chain of logic—“rising oil prices → inflation fears → rate cut expectations → risk asset sell-off”—may be broken. As a risk asset, Bitcoin’s selling pressure will significantly decrease, creating conditions for the support level of $65,000 to remain firm. Additionally, international oil prices are already high, and further substantial increases are limited, which will marginally weaken their negative impact on the crypto market.
