Bitcoin traded around $74,000 after Tuesday’s Wall Street open, cooling after a push to $76,000 and facing renewed skepticism about the rebound. Some traders said a rejection from the $74K–$79K area could lead to a move back toward $68,000 support, while others argued higher-time-frame signals still do not confirm a bear-market bottom. Gold, meanwhile, again retested the $5,000 level per ounce, keeping breakdown risk in focus.
