Bitcoin has receded a bit since testing the $70,000 level earlier this week, and has settled at around $68,000, up 0.8% on the day and 0.5% on the week, per data from CoinGecko.

“After reaching a high of $68,850, Bitcoin corrected slightly towards the day’s end but maintained a strong price level,” BRN analyst Valentin Fournier said in a note shared with Decrypt. “This suggests a potential accumulation phase around $67,500, which could pave the way for a subsequent price surge.”

The price falling back a bit is to be expected, said Yuya Hasegawa, a market analyst at Japanese crypto exchange Bitbank.

“From a technical perspective, a little bit of pull back after a breakout is in line with the textbook and the market should not be too disappointed by this week’s price action,” he wrote in a note shared with Decrypt.
