Bitcoin (BTC) pushed above $68,800 and briefly reclaimed $70,000, but the move failed to hold after a high of $70,463. The price has since pulled back while still trading above $68,000 and the 100-hour simple moving average, with $67,500 flagged as a key near-term support. Upside levels highlighted include $69,350, $69,800, and $70,500, while a break lower could expose $66,800 and $65,500.
