Why BTC Price Risks Falling Further?
The next week is going to be crucial for the crypto market as Bitcoin and altcoins remain under selling pressure. In a month, Bitcoin has tumbled 10% and altcoins have dropped 20-30%.
Over 104K BTC options of notional value $6.72 billion are about to expire on June 28, per the largest derivatives exchange Deribit. With a put-call ratio of 0.52 and the max pain point at $57,000, it indicates Bitcoin price is more likely to remain under selling pressure next week.
Traders also brace for U.S. GDP growth rate data on Thursday and the Fed’s preferred inflation data PCE inflation data on Friday. This coincides with the $6.72 billion options expiry. Investors are holding onto their coins, but high volatility and selling pressure amid these factors can cause Bitcoin price to sink below $60,000 and even dip to $57,000.
Moreover, there’s an additional selling pressure on the Bitcoin price due to strong Bitcoin ETF outflows shooting past $500 million during the past week. At the same time, the German government has been sending huge BTC from its holdings to exchange.
BTC price currently trades at $64,286, up 1% in the last 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $63,437 and $64,475, respectively. Trading volume has dropped 47% in the past 24 hours, which indicates a lack of interest from traders amid negative sentiment.
