BTC USD sits at $64,000, down -1.5% on the day, still pinned under the ceiling that’s frustrated bulls for weeks. The bigger story: a labor market miss that should have triggered a relief rally instead got shrugged off entirely. That disconnect matters more than the headline number for this week’s Bitcoin price prediction.
Employers cut 23,000 jobs in July, the first net loss since the pandemic-era recovery, badly missing the 95,000 gain economists penciled in. Markets read the miss as rate-cut fuel and Treasury yields dropped.
Risk assets were supposed to catch a bid. Bitcoin tapped its 50-day average and rolled straight back over, rejecting the level cleanly on the daily candle.
The rejection fits a pattern that’s held since the May peak near $80,000: lower highs, lower lows, a death cross that macro tailwinds can’t seem to dislodge. That’s the technical backdrop worth understanding before deciding what comes next.
Bitcoin Price Prediction: Can BTC USD Hit $65,000 This Week?

BTC is trading in a tight band, with CoinLore showing support at $63,766 and resistance at $65,000. A break above that ceiling opens room toward $67,081, and eventually $78,085, according to CoinLore’s model. The 7-day forecast lands at $63,935, essentially flat, which tells its own story.
The RSI reads 50, dead neutral. Neither camp has conviction right now. The 50-day EMA still trades below the 200-day, and bulls needed a daily close above that shorter average to even start flipping the read, they didn’t get it.
Bull case: a clean reclaim of $65,000 opens a path toward $67,000-plus.
Base case: continued consolidation between $63,766 and $65,016, chopping traders on both sides.
Bear case: a break below $62,216 (the prior swing low) confirms the downtrend has legs. For deeper technical context, this breakout analysis and this CPI-driven forecast are worth a read before positioning either direction.
LiquidChain Targets Early Mover Upside as Bitcoin Tests Key Levels
A death cross that shrugs off a jobs miss isn’t a market begging to be bought at these levels. Bitcoin at a $1.3 trillion market cap doesn’t offer the kind of asymmetric upside early-stage capital tends to chase; the coin’s most explosive growth phases are, arguably, behind it. That’s pushing more traders toward presale-stage infrastructure plays where the ceiling hasn’t been priced in yet.
LiquidChain ($LIQUID) is building a Layer 3 execution environment that fuses Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into one unified layer; developers deploy once and access all three ecosystems rather than fragmenting liquidity across chains.
The presale has raised $936,891.74 at a current token price of $0.01489. Core features include Single-Step Execution and Verifiable Settlement, both aimed at solving the liquidity fragmentation problem that’s plagued cross-chain DeFi since its inception.
