Bitcoin Drops Below $87,000 As Bears Target $84,000 Support Break

Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook

What a disastrous weekly close for Bitcoin, that about sums it up. After tapping $98,000 resistance the week prior, the bitcoin price just went straight down last week to close near the lows at $86,588. The bulls have been corralled back into their pens and will need a lot of help to break out once again. The bears will look to continue their momentum into this week to break down the $84,000 support level once and for all, and take the price down to the low $70,000 area.

Key Support and Resistance Levels Now

The bears are back in town. $87,000 support has been lost,…

Digital Payment Services Draw Bank Pushback As Regulators Weigh Deposit Impact

image credit: author

Digital payment tools used to just help people move money from one place to another quickly. That was their main job. Money did not stay in those systems for very long.

This matters because bank accounts and payment tools are treated differently by financial rules. Banks must follow strict rules about how they keep money, how safe it is, and how payments are made. Payment tools have not always been treated that way.

Record Crypto Theft In 2025 Will Accelerate Shift From Exchanges to Bitcoin ETFs – 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BATS:BITX), Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN)

In May, 2025, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) announced that it faced a security breach unlike any other. It wasn’t a hack. No one had their account details stolen.

A few months later, a California-based artist named Ed Suman was the subject of an unfortunate Bloomberg article saying he lost over $2 million to the fake Coinbase…
