Bitcoin Eyes $66K Target Amid Iran Tensions and Sell Pressure
BTC pushes toward $64K reclaim as one trader flags suspicious price action and sets a $66K ceiling target.
Bitcoin surged toward a $64,000 reclaim Thursday even as renewed US-Iran geopolitical tensions rattled risk markets and persistent selling pressure on Binance continued to weigh on the rally, according to analysis published by Cointelegraph.
At least one trader has flagged the recent BTC price gains as "suspicious," suggesting the upward momentum may not reflect genuine organic demand. That skepticism has led the analyst to tip $66,000 as a likely ceiling for the current move rather than a launchpad for further highs.

Selling activity from Binance spot traders, which had already been building earlier in the week, remained a notable headwind.
