Crypto analyst Caleb Franzen highlighted that Bitcoin is back in the same effective support zone. He continues, "$BTC has continued to make higher highs and higher lows from a short-term perspective during this recent price action."

Rekt Capital commented on Bitcoin's pullback, saying the crypto king needs to continue holding above $65,000 or at the very least, hold $65,000 as support on any unexpected pullback.

Heavily followed crypto trader Marco Polo believes Bitcoin always gives a second chance.
