Over the past two months, the Bitcoin price has been trading sideways struggling to overcome supply pressure at $73800. Earlier this week, the coin price established a new lower high at $71755 level reflecting an early sign of traders selling on bullish bounces.

The bearish turnaround from the aforementioned resistance plunged the coin value 8.3% to currently trade at $65281. However, geopolitical tension between Iran and Israel plunged the BTC price to a low of $61600, this asset’s nature as a macro hedge in the finance market triggered a notable rebound.

Moreover, a Bitcoin whale withdrew 598 BTC from Binance as the market fell, part of a larger move totaling 10,158 BTC since mid-March, as tracked by Lookonchain. This series of withdrawals, amounting to approximately $680.83 million, could signal a strategic reaction to recent market shifts.

This accumulation amid the correction trend indicates that smart money expects the Bitcoin price to rebound and rechallenge the overhead resistance for new highs.

If the potential reversal sustains above a 50-day EMA, the buyers could tackle the resistance at $71755 and $73800.

On a contrary note, the downside support for BTC wavers at $61600 and $57400.
