Market Overview
BTC maintains a narrow range of fluctuations between $67,000 and $68,500, with frequent dips to $67,000, yet managing to retain that level.
For a bullish trend, BTC must maintain a level above $69,000 and a support of $66,784. If this support level is breached, a correction can be expected followed by an increased probability of a major bullish wave.
BTC is currently in between bullish and bearish tug-of-war. Watch out for the US unemployment rate and non-farm payroll on June 7th, the seasonally adjusted US CPI on June 12th, and the FOMC interest rate meeting on June 13th.
