Bitcoin Below $63,000, XRP Under $1 as Ethereum, Dogecoin Struggle to Hold Support

Trader Michael van de Poppe said the key is to keep accumulating Bitcoin rather than trying to time the exact bottom.

Over a five-year horizon, buying at $55,000 versus $60,000 may matter little, just as buying at $16,000 versus $20,000 four years ago does today.

Rekt Capital noted Bitcoin has repeatedly wicked below $63,000 but managed to recover.

However, weakening rebounds from that level, combined with Bitcoin’s historical tendency to roll over in the second half of August during bear-market years, point to growing downside risk.

A weekly close below $63,000 would confirm the existing technical and seasonal weakness.

Altcoin Sherpa expects Bitcoin to remain in a 2-4 month consolidation phase even after finding a bottom, like 2018 and 2022.

However, both prior cycles featured sharp capitulation moves around the final bottom, something the trader believes has yet to occur this cycle, potentially setting up a volatile latter half of the year.
