Bitcoin under Pressure, Despite Monday’s Bump – Potential Selling Likely

Published 03/03/2026, 02:12 AM
On evaluating the movements of Bitcoin on a daily chart, I observe that despite a bounce back yesterday by U.S. attacks on Iran over the weekend, indicating extended selling pressure below the significant resistance at $70,074, while the next resistance is at $71,939.

Undoubtedly, Bitcoin has been sustaining at the lower levels from a long time due its position much below the significant resistance at the 200 EMA ($89,674) as other Exponential Moving Averages had pierced the 200 EMA on October-November 2025, resulting in a steep fall by Bitcoin experienced an advent of a sell-off on Nov.11, 2025 which pushed it to test a low at $60,182 on Feb.6, 2026 from where a sharp pull back was seen.

Undoubtedly, this pullback formed a significant resistance at $71,939 at the same levels, followed by repeated futile attempts to break this significant resistance, which resulted in the formation of a new resistance below this at $70,074.

I observed that Bitcoin has been trading in a narrow range since Feb.24, 2026, after finding support at $62,679 amid a series of buying and selling bouts up to Monday, when it experienced a sharp pullback, which finally attracted selling pressure.

On Tuesday, formation of a bearish dozi looks evident enough to extend the selling spree, which could push it back to test the immediate support at $64,998 this week, from where some bounce back could be there.

I find that if gold futures face a selling spree this week, if some easing appears on the U.S.–Iran front, smart money could flow to crypto currencies, which are currently trading at lower levels.

In conclusion, I find that exhaustion in gold prices mostly generates a buying spree in digital gold (Bitcoin).
