Bitcoin slips below $70,000 on Tuesday, down roughly 15% over the last four straight weeks of losses.
Momentum indicators signal increasing selling pressure, reaffirming the bearish technical outlook.
Technical levels suggest BTC could test the April 12 low at $65,000 if selling pressure continues.

Bitcoin (BTC) price dips below $70,000 on Tuesday, extending the 3% decline from the previous day. Market momentum turned extremely bearish, with Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) tied to BTC offloading roughly $4 billion since May 15. The technical indicators suggest that rising selling pressure could extend the breakout of the support trendline to test the $65,000 psychological level.

Bitcoin ETF outflows cross $4 billion since May 15

Bitcoin trades below $70,000 for the first time since April 7, likely driven by institutional offloading, with $2.43 billion in outflows recorded in May and Strategy’s first-ever sale of 32 BTC on Monday in the last four years. SoSoValue Data shows that Bitcoin ETFs recorded $483.76 million in outflows on Monday, bringing total outflows since May 15 to over $4 billion.

Technical outlook: Downside risk in Bitcoin extends to $65,000

Bitcoin extends its fourth consecutive week of decline, representing roughly a 15% loss, clearing the downside toward $65,000, which previously served as a rebound level on March 29. The King Crypto holds a clear bearish bias as price extends below the rising four-month support trendline with the break area near $71,300. The 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) near $75,798 and $76,340 are significantly above the price, reinforcing the bearish tone.

Bitcoin risks further decline after losing altitude from recent highs and failing to hold above a crucial support trendline. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 27 on the daily chart has entered oversold territory, while the negative Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) extends deeper into the negative zone, with its signal line reinforcing bearish momentum.
