Expert Predicts Bitcoin Could Reach $70K by Mid-August
Bitcoin continues its recovery from recent declines and could test the $70,000 mark soon, though a full return to sustained growth is not yet assured, according to Bitbanker's Director of Strategic Communications, Kirill Komalenkov. As of midday August 10, Bitcoin was trading around $65,200, having been range-bound between $63,000 and $66,000 for several weeks after a drop to $57,800. Komalenkov identified the $64,000-$67,500 range as the immediate key zone. A break below $64,000 could lead to a decline toward $62,000-$63,000, while a confident move above $67,500 could target $68,000-$70,000. The $68,000-$70,000 zone remains a major technical resistance; reaching it could trigger profit-taking and a sharp correction. Komalenkov's baseline scenario for mid-August is moderately positive, expecting a test of $67,000-$70,000, but views the current uptick as a recovery, not confirmation of a new bull cycle. A decisive break above $70,000 would be a key signal to reconsider expectations and potentially end the bearish scenario. The summary also notes a recent Russian regulatory development allowing non-qualified investors to buy Bitcoin, Ether, and major stablecoins, with an annual limit of 300,000 rubles per intermediary.
