Bitcoin nears $60,000 amid renewed pressure

Bitcoin trades near $62,000 on Tuesday, after a 2% drop the previous day, keeping the near-term trend trapped below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $65,070. The reversal risks a retest of the $60,000 psychological level, with the swing low near $58,115 in place.

Momentum signals are comparatively modest, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering around a neutral 46.9 and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) staying in positive territory but not yet strong enough to challenge the dominant downside structure.

Looking up, a potential breakout of the 50-day EMA at $65,070 could extend the rally to the $70,000 mark.

Pi Network and Worldcoin poised for further decline

Pi Network trades at a record low level near $0.0740 on Tuesday, testing the breakout below a descending support trendline of a falling channel pattern. The PI token targets the 161.8% Fibonacci extension level at $0.0679 as immediate support, measured from the downswing from $0.1998 to $0.1183, where a daily close could extend its decline to steeper levels.

The MACD and signal line extend the declining trend, with expanding negative histograms indicating firm bearish momentum, while the RSI near 11 keeps the pair deeply oversold, suggesting that, while downside pressure is dominant, short-term bounces cannot be ruled out.

Looking up, a potential rebound in the bearish setup from the support trendline could test the 127.2% Fibonacci level at $0.0961.

Worldcoin trades below $0.4000 at press time on Tuesday, following a 6% decline the previous day. The 50-day EMA at $0.4268 caps the near-term trend, pushing WLD price below the 50% retracement at $0.4048, measured from $0.7229 to $0.2267. A steady decline below could target the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.2980.

That said, the RSI at about 42 still leans toward softness, while the MACD remains marginally below its signal line, suggesting downside pressure persists despite the latest stabilization.

Looking up, the 50-day and 200-day EMAs at $0.4268 and $0.4851, respectively, serve as key resistance levels.
