Bitcoin has outperformed the S&P 500 over the past week, with both assets nearing significant resistance levels. The S&P 500 rose approximately 7% after recovering from losses linked to the Middle East conflict, reaching a resistance point at 6,800. Analysts suggest a potential rejection could lead to a decline below the channel mid-line, contingent on developments in the Middle East ceasefire. Bitcoin's price has seen a series of higher highs and lows since March, approaching the bear market trendline. However, resistance at $71,700 poses a challenge, with potential for a corrective phase down to $69,000. Technical indicators such as the RSI and MACD suggest mixed signals, with the market's direction for the coming months likely to be determined soon.
