Bitcoin Price Prediction: Analyst Warns of $59K Drop If Bulls Fail to Hold This Level

Bitcoin price hovered below the $63,000 support level as bearish pressure intensified across the market. BTC fell 2.40% to $62,442 in 24 hours, following general weakness in crypto assets. 

The total market capitalization slipped 2.42% to $2.15 trillion during the same period. Macro uncertainty, a hawkish Federal Reserve view, and leveraged long liquidations precipitated further declines in key trading sessions.

Analyst Sees $59K Risk for Bitcoin Price If Support Breaks

Bitcoin price has fallen below the $64,000 support area that it lost to the recent selling pressure in the wider crypto market.

The breakdown indicates reduction in bullish energy and sellers are taking temporary control of the market direction and price structure.

Crypto Analyst Pillows explained that the $61,000-61,500 is now the most significant support area to the bulls.

The key support level is $61,000-$61,5000 which should hold for any bounceback.

In case buyers can protect this region, BTC can also seek a slow recovery to higher resistance in the next few sessions.

Nevertheless, the inability to maintain this support may hasten the downside pressure and put Bitcoin at risk of falling to $59,000.

Sentiment in the market is still wary with traders evaluating liquidity status, macro factors, and current volatility in the risk assets.

The statistics indicated wary institutional demand as crypto prices moved below the influence of the market at large.

Bitcoin derivatives market experienced greater volatility where liquidation spikes and open interest fell during trading sessions.

Bitcoin Derivatives Signal Weakness as Open Interest Falls 1.83%

The liquidation data showed severe long position wipeouts and occasional short sales in the intermittent price volatility.

Open interest declined 1.83% with a decline in its trading volume of 11.18% to $64.05 billion.

The fall implies that traders decreased leverage exposure with market uncertainty gaining momentum across derivatives markets.

Open interest patterns indicated that there had been a decline in speculative interest following past peaks around current price levels.

Both longs and shorts have spikes in liquidation that show weak positioning where traders respond to the changes in the price of Bitcoin in the leveraged markets today.

Is Bitcoin Price About to Break Below $62,000 Again?

The BTC price traded at $62,530, holding near the $62,000 support area. Bitcoin remained in a declining channel following its inability to retain itself above $65,000 this week. The RSI was close to 36, which indicates low purchasing power in the recent pullback.

The MACD was also negative, indicating that sellers are still in charge of short-term direction.  A clean break below $62,000 may expose future Bitcoin outlook to $60,500 and $59,800 next.

In case buyers recapture the channel top, BTC might first retest $65,000. A more decisive breakout beyond this level can lead the way to $68,000.
