The post Bitcoin Is At ‘Pivotal Level’ As $65K Downside Risk Looms: Analyst appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin could fall toward its February yearly low if it fails to maintain support above the $70,000 level, according to a crypto analyst. “Bitcoin is at a pivotal level, and if it doesn’t hold, we’re buying at <$65K,” MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe said in an X post on Saturday. Bitcoin (BTC) reached a yearly low of $60,000 in early February before recovering to $73,873 at the time of publication, according to CoinMarketCap. It comes as crypto market participants are divided over whether Bitcoin’s early February price of $60,000 marked the bottom of the cycle, or if further downside still lies ahead. Bitcoin may break above $76,000 if the current level holds Veteran trader Peter Brandt said in March that $60,000 may not be the lowest level for 2026, forecasting that Bitcoin could retest or even move “slightly lower” than the price level in September or Octob

The post Gravity Bridge Hit by $5.4M Exploit as Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $2.97B Amid Peak Sentiment appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Gravity Bridge, a cross-chain protocol moving assets between Ethereum and the Cosmos ecosystem, was drained of roughly $5.4 million in a fresh exploit that has forced validators to suspend operations. On-chain analysts spotted suspicious outflows late Saturday, with early forensic work pointing to a likely compromise of the bridge’s contract key. The team behind the protocol confirmed the incident on social media and instructed validators to halt their orchestrators while the breach is being investigated. The episode renews unease over cross-chain infrastructure security, an area that institutional researchers have repeatedly flagged as one of the weakest links in decentralized finance. Forensic firms tracking the breach broke down the stolen haul into roughly $4.3 million in USDC, 274 wrapped ETH worth about $553,000, $434,000 in Tether, and 14

The post Bitcoin Holds $73K Pivot as Spot Buyers Defend Floor, Analyst Eyes $76K or $65K Move appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin News Spot and futures volumes surged late this week as Bitcoin swept its range lows near $72,500, with dip buyers stepping in to defend the $70,000 zone amid heavy ETF selling pressure. ETF redemptions hit $1.42 billion last week, extending the prior week’s $1.26 billion in withdrawals and raising concerns that price could revisit the $60,000-$70,000 band that constrained Bitcoin from February through April. Aggregated spot volume data suggests buyers are not yet dominant against the outflows, but coordinated bidding around key support has so far prevented a deeper capitulation move below the floor. Open interest heatmap data reveals roughly $300 million in newly opened leveraged long positions concentrated in the $73,000 to $74,000 zone, signaling that derivatives traders are willing to take directional risk at current levels.
