Bitcoin has to retake $65K to confirm strength. Above that, targets are $66K and then $67K (June's local peak). But that requires a soft CPI print or unexpected Fed dovishness. Until then, $65K is the ceiling.
This narrow $1K band is where the biggest layers of orders sit. Yesterday's liquidations happened here. A break above or below this zone will be violent. Most traders are holding, waiting for CPI to tell them which way.
This is the line that matters. Lose it, and Bitcoin tests $59–60K. But getting there requires a really hot CPI print (3.6% YoY or worse). Most base-case scenarios have Bitcoin holding $62K support or bouncing higher.
Ethereum fell 2% to $1,871, slightly weaker than Bitcoin's 1.4% drop. That's normal—equities correlation means ETH gets hit harder in risk-off periods. But it also rebounds harder in relief rallies.
Bitcoin: $65K profit zone, $63.5–64.5K pivot, $62K stop. Ethereum: $2K profit zone, $1.8–1.9K pivot, $1.7K stop. When CPI lands at 8:30 a.m. ET Wednesday, these levels will be tested hard.
