Bitcoin recovered to roughly $64,722 after bouncing off a $62,679 low, up 0.36% on the day and 1.72% on the week, with resistance stacked at $65,000 to $65,500 and support near $62,700. Short liquidations totaling $16.34 million, about 96% of all liquidations, helped amplify the move up. Two events today are the focus: the release of Fed minutes and a White House crypto industry meeting, with the Fear and Greed Index sitting at 40 and funding rates staying controlled rather than frothy.
