On August 14 Eastern Time, U.S. tech stocks and memory concept stocks rallied in pre-market trading, led by strong gains in SanDisk and Micron Technology. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market faced downward pressure, with Bitcoin falling below $63,000 and Ethereum losing the $1,900 level. Bitcoin is currently approaching the $62,000 midpoint of its recent range. A break below this level could drive prices toward the crucial $58,000 yearly low, where potential bullish support may emerge.

Currently, Bitcoin price is heading toward the $62,000 mark, which is the midpoint of the range-bound oscillation ($58,000-$67,000) over the past two months, where bullish defense may not be very strong. If BTC price falls further and loses this level, it will seek the next support level at $58,000, a low set this year that is expected to trigger a bullish counterattack. bitcoin-btc-price-423e2d778b644e25a985d3d390cb4d88 Bitcoin price chart, Source: TradingView
