Continued upward momentum could push the price towards the $65,500 resistance. However, if Bitcoin fails to break through the $62,500 resistance zone, a decline may ensue. Immediate downside support is near the $62,000 level, followed by major support at the $61,850 level.

An additional significant support level sits around the $61,200 zone, with further losses potentially driving the price down towards the $60,000 support level in the near term..
