As Bitcoin continues to trade around key resistance levels, market analysts remain divided on its next move. While several traders expect a bitcoin price rally toward $67,000–$70,000 over the next one to two weeks, others warn that losing critical support could trigger another correction. 

Here’s a roundup of the latest forecasts.

Michaël van de Poppe: Rally to $68K Before August Surge

Ali Martinez: $64.7K Is the Deciding Level

Analyst Ali Martinez says Bitcoin’s next move depends on whether it can break the top of its trading channel at $64,700.

According to him:

• Above $64,700: Targets open at $66,400, then $68,000.
• Failure at resistance: Bitcoin could fall back to $63,000 or even $61,500.

He considers $64,700 the key breakout level traders should monitor.

• Stay bullish while Bitcoin remains above $61,100.
• If that level breaks and holds as resistance, he would consider short positions.

Ted Pillows: Watch the $65K Close

Analyst Ted Pillows says Bitcoin briefly attempted to reclaim $65,000 but failed.

According to him, a daily close above $65,000 would likely trigger a quick move toward $67,500–$68,000, making it one of the most important short-term resistance levels.

That Martini Guy: Liquidity Points to $65.7K

Trader, That Martini Guy said Bitcoin’s next move could be driven by liquidity.

He notes a large cluster of short liquidations between $65,500 and $65,700, which often attracts price during strong momentum.

• Hold above $64,000: Bitcoin could rally into the liquidation zone.
• Lose $64,000: The next downside target becomes $63,000.

Daan Crypto Trades Sees $70K+ as Next Target

Crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades says Bitcoin needs to hold its current support zone to keep the bullish momentum intact. If BTC breaks above $65.6K and then $67.2K, it could trigger a stronger rally, with $70K+ becoming the next major target.

Bearish View: Peter Schiff Sticks to His Call

Longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff remains unconvinced by the recent recovery. He argues that while many regret not buying Bitcoin earlier, investors could eventually regret not selling above $60,000, maintaining his long-standing bearish outlook despite Bitcoin’s resilience.
