Bitcoin Steadies Near $66,000 as Analysts Flag $63,111 Support and $68,000 Hurdle

URPD data highlights a fragile floor at $63,111 with sparse support below, signaling heightened risk until price either loses that level or clears $68,000.

Overview

  • Bitcoin recovered from a Feb. 28 drop to about $63,062 after U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran, trading near the mid-$66,000s by March 1.
  • On-chain URPD indicates heavy holder concentration around $63,111 with a thin supply zone down to roughly $46,702, raising the risk of swift downside if $63,111 breaks.
  • Analyst Ali Martinez also points to secondary demand clusters near $41,653 and $37,867 that may attract buyers if selling intensifies.
  • Technical analysts say a sustained move above $68,000 could target $72,000–$74,000 in the near term, a scenario framed as conditional by TedPillows.
  • iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) shows neutral oscillator readings but widespread moving-average sell signals, reflecting short- to mid-term caution.
