Bitcoin climbed above $64,000 on Monday as markets watch the expiration of the 60-day U.S.-Iran truce.

Notable Statistics:

Trader Notes:

Trader Dom highlighted that Bitcoin’s realized volatility fell to 6.2% annualized on Sunday, its lowest level in 12 months, reflecting months of subdued price action.

He expects volatility to pick up soon, with $67,000 range resistance the key level to watch—a breakout above it would mark a bullish shift.

CryptosBatman noted that Bitcoin is reclaiming the 200 EMA near $64,000, with descending trendline resistance at $64,500 to $65,000.

A clean break above $65,000 would strengthen the bullish case, but an overbought Stoch RSI signals near-term caution, with rejection potentially sending BTC back toward $62,500 to $63,000 support.

Altcoin Sherpa said Bitcoin still looks resilient, with $62,000 remaining a key support level. He sees a bounce as more likely than a sharp breakdown for now, but still expects BTC to eventually fall below $60,000, though the timing remains uncertain.
