Bitcoin Faces Rejection Risk as BTC Price Nears $67K

BTC grabbed upside liquidity at the US open, but traders are warning the rally may not hold. Here's what to watch.

Bitcoin made its move during the US trading session open, snatching upside liquidity as bulls pushed price action toward the $67,000 zone. But don't get too comfortable — analysts are already flagging rejection risk at that level, and failing to hold gains could flip the short-term outlook bearish fast.
