Bitcoin remained under pressure as escalating tensions between the United States and Iran weighed on broader risk assets, with BTC/USD at one point nearing the $62,000 level. According to the report, the wider market faced selling pressure as geopolitical stress hit sentiment. JDK Analysis said Bitcoin’s price action looked "very weak," adding that a large amount of short capital was positioning for further downside and that the $60,000 area could again become a key level for traders to watch. Still, the report noted that if fresh spot demand emerges and key support holds, a large number of short positions could face a squeeze in the opposite direction. Not all traders have turned bearish. Trader Roman said several technical indicators, including the RSI and trading volume, suggest downside momentum may be fading, leaving room for Bitcoin to rebound toward the $70,000 to $75,000 range.

Bitcoin stayed under pressure as tensions between the United States and Iran escalated, with the cryptocurrency at one point nearing $62,000 and risk assets broadly facing selling pressure.

Data showed BTC/USD continuing to move lower. JDK Analysis described Bitcoin’s current price action as "very weak" and said a large amount of short capital was betting on further declines, with the $60,000 area possibly returning as a key market focus.

At the same time, the report said fresh spot buying and a successful defense of key support could leave a large number of short positions exposed to a squeeze.

Some traders are still constructive. Trader Roman said several technical indicators, including the RSI and trading volume, show that downside momentum may be running out, leaving Bitcoin with a chance to rebound toward the $70,000 to $75,000 range.
