Bitcoin is currently catching its breath just below the $70,000 threshold – stubbornly stuck in the 65-66,000 range. So, will it be able to reach that legendary $70K level again? Or is this just another end of February where we'll be lamenting that "the good old days are over"? The market is currently in a bipolar mode: On one hand, ETF flows are still giving positive signals, and institutions seem to be on a bottom hunt. On the other hand, macroeconomic pressures (interest rate expectations, inflation fears, risk-off mode) and the 48% correction since the $126,000 all-time high last October are dampening spirits. Even the drop from around $68,200 to $64,900 and subsequent rebound in the last 24 hours proves the market is still holding its breath. Analysts are divided:


The optimistic camp says: "70,000 is no longer psychological, it's becoming a technical support. If we get a weekly close above it, $80,000 is just around the corner." Cleared leverage, decreasing short positions, and historical cycle analogies (2016-2020 similarities) lend them some credence.
Pessimist camp: "Even if it jumps to Mid-70, it will face rejection. The real bottom may come in the June-September-October 2026 range." Willy Woo's scenarios and some on-chain metrics (especially the cost base of long-term holders) point to this.
Current picture: To reclaim 70,000, Bitcoin must first clearly capture the 68,200-68,500 region. If that is broken, momentum will rapidly increase and strengthen the "yes, 70K is coming back" thesis. But if it falls below 65,000, the 60,000 psychology will suddenly come back to the table. In short: Yes, it's possible. But this is not just a matter of money and charts; it's also a "test of patience" and a "news flow dance". If Trump-era regulatory hopes, ETF inflows, or a surprise macroeconomic easing materialize, 70,000 would be just a temporary stop. Otherwise… the end of February and the beginning of March might be a bit more uncertain.
