Bitcoin rises above $64,000 amid mixed crypto market; Venice Token leads gains with 12.5% surge

Bitcoin climbed to around $64,262, up 1.2% in 24 hours, staying within its $60,000-$66,000 range amid mixed market moves. Venice Token led top 100 gainers with a 12.5% rise, while some altcoins like Worldcoin and Filecoin fell sharply. Bitcoin's momentum remains neutral with resistance near $65,000-$66,000 and support around $62,000-$63,000. Rising oil prices add pressure on broader markets, but Bitcoin showed relative strength during the session. A clear break above or below current levels will signal the next trend direction.
