What’s Next For BTC Price?

The Bhutan government’s transactions came during a time of renewed volatility in the crypto market. Today, Bitcoin continued its downtrend trend amid the current macroeconomic uncertainty and overall risk-off tone in global markets.

The BTC price dropped as low as $59,100 on Friday after unfavorable U.S. jobs data. Since then, Bitcoin has rebounded a little, holding above $61,000.

However, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe hinted at continuation of a downtrend. On X, he wrote, The daily RSI on #Bitcoin has also reached the lowest level since the COVID-19 crash. It might even drop lower than that. That’s how heavy this capitulation currently is.”

Currently, the BTC price is holding above the $60,000 support level. However, if Bitcoin breaks it again, it could go all the way down to $55,000 and even lower as the next support zone sits between $50,000 and $54,000. Polymarket traders predict a whopping 82% chance of BTC plunging to the $55,000 level.

However, things get even trickier here. According to analysts Ted Pillows, Bitcoin could breakdown below $50,000 in the near-term, which is somewhat similar to Bitget CEO Gracy Chen’s expectations.

I'm seeing this chart a lot on my timeline lately.

IMO, $BTC won't go to $30,000-$35,000 zone, and the bottom could be around $48,000-$50,000.
