Bitcoin Slips to $64,300 as Bulls Fail to Clear $65K

Bitcoin retreated to the $64,300 level on August 19. The digital asset struggled to stay above $65,000 as selling pressure kept the price from breaking through immediate resistance near $65,400.

Several factors contributed to this price action. Spot demand remains relatively quiet, and rising bond yields are pulling some attention away from riskier assets like crypto. This combination made it difficult for traders to push the price into a higher range.

Investors are now watching to see if $64,000 holds as a firm foundation. If this level fails to support the price, traders will be looking for the next area of interest to see if buyers step back in to defend the trend.
