Why are top Bitcoin traders bullish despite BTC price dip to $64.3K?

Bitcoin whales and miners remain cautiously optimistic, strengthening the bullish case for $64,300 support.

On June 18, Bitcoin's (BTC) price tumbled 5.6% over the course of the day to $64,300, reaching its lowest level in over a month.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at their highest level in two decades. However, the resilience in the derivatives markets points to a potential BTC price recovery ahead.

U.S. retail sales increased a modest 0.1% from the previous month, below the economists' consensus of 0.3%, according to Yahoo Finance.
