500 BTC worth $38.95M to NYDIG, reinforcing visible miner-driven supply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This transfer added to a sequence of similar outflows recorded in recent sessions, confirming that miners had actively introduced liquidity into the market rather than holding reserves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such <\/span><a

decision to convert mined Bitcoin into realized value, especially as price approached key resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the scale of this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/predictions\/bitcoin-price-prediction\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sale remained relatively controlled compared to broader market liquidity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bitcoin retests key supply after recovery<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin rebounded from the $65,000 demand zone and advanced toward the $78,488 resistance, which aligned with a prior breakdown region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This recovery followed a strong impulsive move that restored short-term structure, pushing price back into a defined range between $73,755 support and $78,488 resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, price approached a visible supply zone marked by previous rejection, increasing the likelihood of hesitation near this level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current structure showed compression beneath resistance rather than a clean breakout, suggesting that sellers had begun defending this region again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If rejection persisted, price could revisit lower support zones before attempting another move higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Directional Movement Index readings showed +DI at 27.11, clearly above -DI at 12.90, indicating that buyers had regained short-term control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This shift followed a period where sellers dominated the trend during the earlier decline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, ADX held near 22.56, signaling that trend strength remained moderate rather than fully established.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_592037\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-592037\" style=\"width: 2093px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
