Bitcoin is struggling to find direction near $64,000, with a stronger U.S. dollar and upcoming inflation data seen as key drivers this week. The dollar index has moved back above 100, weighing on risk assets. Investors are watching the Fed’s preferred PCE inflation gauge, GDP revisions and jobless claims, as well as a sharp drop in oil after a U.S.-Iran peace deal. Traders are also focused on July seasonality, $60,000 support and short-term holder selling.

Bitcoin is again facing downward pressure ahead of the release of U.S. inflation data. It slid about 1.2 percent on June 9 as Wall Street opened and moved toward lows in the $62,000 range, while U.S. stock indexes opened higher. Some traders said a break above $65,000 would signal a shift higher, but others said the move resembles past bear markets after Bitcoin fell below key technical levels.
