Amid the massive selloff in the Asia trading hours on Monday, August 5, the Bitcoin price has come crashing down over 12% falling all the way to $54,000. The worries surrounding the US recession have skyrocketed once again with traders unwinding their positions in most of the risk assets.

Bitcoin ETFs Can See Major Gap Down
As said, the Bitcoin price has now crashed to $54,000 falling under the July lows. As this scenario pans out, popular economist Peter Schiff believes that there could be a 15% gap down for spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday, from the January levels. If so, it could trigger massive liquidations going ahead.
#Bitcoin just sank below $58K. If it takes out it’s July low by tomorrow’s U.S. #StockMarket open, #BitcoinETFs will gap down by more than 15%, 30% below their Jan. highs. A loss of that magnitude may finally trigger mass ETF liquidations. If so, brace for a #Crypto black Monday.
