$60,000 Dip for $BTC Next?
As the image in the post above depicts, Bitcoin broke out of a perfectly formed triangle pattern which led to a breakout to hit lower targets. Analysts noticed that the weekends seem to be the more action-packed trading days for crypto this year. No doubt, many factors have led to the declining price of $BTC, a huge factor being Trump’s continuously escalating tariff announcements and the incredibly high liquidations in the US stock market.
Despite the latest dip, most analysts saw the downward movement of $BTC price is not over. According to the responses to the posts above, most analysts are certain that the price of $BTC will fall to the $72,000 to $73,000 price range next. Meanwhile, a handful of seasoned traders expect $BTC price to hit $60,000 next and mark this as the possible worst-case scenario. However, they remain certain that the downward pattern will eventually lead to a breakout which will bring $BTC price to the next ATH target between $116,000 and $125,000.
