Bitcoin Edges Higher, but Bear Market Looms Large

Bitcoin's price edged higher on Tuesday, but analysts warn that this move is part of a broader bear market rather than a confirmed trend reversal.

The overall market structure remains bearish, according to chart analysts tracking the token. The recent advance is being viewed as a short-term recovery within the larger downtrend, not evidence that the decline has ended.

One key level in focus is Bitcoin's low from earlier this month, which analysts describe as a crucial benchmark for the near-term outlook. If Bitcoin can hold above this level, it would keep the case for a larger bounce intact. However, a break below it would signal the recovery attempt has failed.

The main support zone sits between $59,310 and $62,415, an area analysts have tracked for several weeks. Holding this range keeps the near-term outlook constructive. On the upside, a key resistance zone to watch is between $66,233 and $76,638, with indicators converging on a narrower target of between $69,117 and $72,126.
