Bitcoin has been retreating lower for more than two weeks and now BTC is near $60,000. But we are contemplating whether to buy here or wait for a lower price. The decline has escalated today, so entering the Bitcoin market on the long side right now is like catching a knife through butter, so we are just observing the price action at the moment if it will form a bottom here. If not we will see if the low from early May around $57,000 will hold and maybe go long there. If not, then the $50,000 zone is a great place to look for Bitcoin longs.

Bitcoin is currently trading at its lowest level since mid-May, primarily sustained by bids in the $60,500-60,700 range. The situation is highly technical, with the inability to breach the $72,000 mark and the establishment of a recent peak raising concerns among investors. Should Bitcoin fall below the critical support levels of $60,000 and potentially $57,000, it could trigger a bearish pattern that targets a price dip below $50,000.

The return of these significant amounts of BITCOIN and Bitcoin Cash into circulation is expected to create notable ripples

Bitcoin Miners in Trouble After the BTC Halving Event

Bitcoin miners are grappling with substantial challenges following the BTC halving that took place two months ago. The reduction in block rewards has led to record-low income per terahash (TH/s), causing increased miner bankruptcy. This, in turn, has exerted significant downward pressure on Bitcoin’s price.
