BTC sits between two critical levels after weeks in a descending channel. One of them will break—the question is which, and what happens next.

Bitcoin's $64k–$67k Range: Which Level Breaks First?

Bitcoin hasn't been able to shake the descending channel it entered in late January. As of February 13, it's trading at $66,887, and while that might sound stable, it's anything but. The price is sitting in a narrow corridor between $64,000 support and $67,000 resistance—a range that on-chain analyst Ali Martinez recently called out as critical.

What's interesting here isn't just that these levels exist. Support and resistance zones are part of every market. What stands out is how compressed this range has become after weeks of turbulence. Bitcoin has been testing the lower end, bouncing off it, pushing toward the upper boundary, and then pulling back. It's textbook consolidation, but the context matters. This isn't a breakout setup—it's a squeeze.

The $64k floor has held so far, but support only works until it doesn't. If that level gives way under volume, the next logical zone sits lower, and given the broader risk-off sentiment we've seen across markets, a break below could accelerate quickly. On the other hand, a clean push above $67k with follow-through would signal something different—maybe not a full reversal, but at least a shift in short-term momentum.

Martinez didn't say which way it breaks, and frankly, neither can anyone else. But the setup is clear. One of these walls is going to crack, and when it does, the move probably won't be subtle. Until then, Bitcoin is waiting. And so is everyone else.
