Bitcoin (BTC) is at a critical crossroads. According to crypto analysts, while some traders are optimistic about an imminent surge as BTC price passes $66,000, others are not ruling out a retrace back to $60,000.
The speculation comes after Bitcoin surpassed $65,000 on Sept. 26 for the first time since Aug. 2.
Kraken analysts opined in an analyst note viewed by Cointelegraph that:
“The recent price action has been relatively tight, reflecting market indecision, as evidenced by the series of small-range doji candlesticks forming on the daily chart.”
Daily close above $65K is crucial for bulls
The analysts explained that a daily close above $65,000 “would likely confirm bullish momentum and open the path to higher levels.”
Meanwhile, amid the current price rise above $66,000, Bitcoin Open Interest (OI) saw an uptick of approximately 3.5% over the past seven days since Sept. 20, at $35.61 billion at the time of publication, according to CoinGlass data.
However, the Kraken analysts cautioned that if Bitcoin fails to “decisively break” above $65,000, it could trigger a retracement, with $60,000 being the first significant support level at risk.

They argued that BTC/USD is “at a pivotal juncture, and traders should closely monitor the price action around these key levels for confirmation of the next directional move.”
Meanwhile, crypto analyst Matthew Hyland explained in a Sept. 26 analyst video that:
“This is the first time that this trend, this downtrend that we have been in for so long, is starting to change.”
