Will Bitcoin Drop Below $60,000?
Killa, a widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader, said Bitcoin could bottom sooner than most people expect, potentially in July or August
“Buying BTC now is equivalent to buying $22,000 last cycle,” the analyst stated.
Another well-known X commentator, Jelle, noted Bitcoin’s rejection on the 4-hour chart, adding, “Feels like sub-$60,000 is a matter of time at this point.”
