Based on the historical price momentum, if BTC breaks the neckline of the double bottom price action pattern at the $63,250 level and closes a daily candle above it, there is a high possibility that it could rise towards the $67,500 level in the coming days. Additionally, BTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently in oversold territory, further supporting this bullish outlook.
