Bitcoin Price Slips 20%: More Dip Ahead?

Bitcoin price lost 16% over the last 30 days while declining 11% in a week. Besides, it bleed nearly 20% from its recent ATH of $109,114.88. This reflects the investors’ waning risk-bet appetite and fading market interest in the digital assets space. Notably, this is also evidenced by the massive outflow in the US Spot Bitcoin ETF over the past few days, with $754.6 million recorded on February 26.

Meanwhile, BTC value today slipped about 3% from yesterday to $86,147 with its one-day trading volume declining 12% to $70.33 billion. Notably, the crypto has slipped to as low as $82,131.90 in the last 24 hours while touching a high of $89,223.08. Besides, CoinGlass data showed that Bitcoin Futures Open interest also fell 6% from yesterday, reflecting the gloomy market sentiment.

More BTC Dip: Key Levels To Watch

The experts remain cautiously optimistic despite the brewing storm in the broader digital assets space, as evidenced by the recent crypto market crash. A flurry of market pundits also sees this latest Bitcoin price plunge as a healthy correction, which might attract more investors to enter at a lower price.

For context, in a recent X post, renowned market expert Michael van de Poppe said that BTC must hold the $87K mark for a strong recovery. However, he also noted that failing to hold this level could trigger a massive selloff which might drive the BTC price to $70K. Despite that, Poppe noted that the BTC price correction is “great” for the investors to buy at a “25% discount from the recent high.”

Bitcoin Price To $70K Imminent?

It’s difficult to precisely predict how low can the flagship crypto go if the bears continue to dominate. However, as per the market trends and experts’ comments, it appears that BTC might find its next support at nearly $70,000. Having said that, it is very likely that the crypto might slip to the level ahead.

Meanwhile, echoing a similar sentiment to Michael van de Poppe, another expert Ali Martinez recently said that BTC below the $93,198 mark will find its support at $70,440. Considering that, it seems that BTC price might slip to the 70 territory if the investors continue to stay in the sideline.

Simultaneously, a recent BTC price prediction also hints at a correction to $70K by the year-end. So, investors might trade cautiously amid the volatile market scenario. But what if the flagship crypto starts recovering?

BTC Recovery Possible? Here Are The Price Levels To Watch Then

Despite the recent market downturn, experts remain optimistic about Bitcoin price’s long-term prospects. Analyst Rekt Capital notes that Bitcoin is closing in on filling the CME Gap created between $78,000 and $80,700 in November 2024. Additionally, a new CME Gap has formed between $92,700 and $94,000, which could lead to a relief rally and a potential revisit of the $93,500 price point.

Other experts, like Rose Premium Signals, predict even more ambitious targets for BTC price, with a potential long-term price of $130,000. With Bitcoin having filled nearly every CME Gap since mid-March 2024, a price recovery may be on the horizon. As the market watches for signs of a turnaround, investors remain hopeful that Bitcoin will regain its upward momentum.
