Kirill Komalenkov, Director of Strategic Communications at leading investment platform Bitbanker, shared his detailed forecast on the near-term price prospects for the leading cryptocurrency. According to the expert, in the coming days Bitcoin may make another attempt to test the crucial psychological and technical level around $64,000. As the most likely scenario for mid-July, the analyst sees a phase of stabilization in a narrow range of $62,800 to $63,200, followed by a natural upward attempt. The key factor that will determine the asset's further dynamics will be the bulls' ability not just to break through this level, but to firmly hold above it. If positions are successfully defended, the crypto market could show a rapid impulse, quickly sending the price into the $65,000–$66,000 range, which is currently seen by most active traders as the baseline and most anticipated outcome.
However, the market remains highly sensitive to any shifts in sentiment, and the expert does not rule out an alternative, more bearish scenario. If buyers fail to overcome resistance at $64,000, the asset will likely move into sluggish sideways action with a gradual but steady decline. In that case, the nearest correction targets would first be $62,000 and then $61,000. Komalenkov stresses that such a downward move should still be viewed solely as a healthy correction within the current local recovery, rather than a full‑blown and dangerous reversal of the global downtrend.
Nevertheless, in the medium term, provided full control over the $64,000–$66,000 zone is regained, a more optimistic scenario with a rise to $68,000–$70,000 is not ruled out, although this area historically acts as strong resistance where sellers may again seize the initiative. As the most pessimistic but still possible option, the analyst named the formation of a long‑term market bottom in the $45,000–$50,000 range.
