Bitcoin May Drop Below $60,000 Amid Geopolitical Risks, Says Analyst

According to Odaily, Standard Chartered Bank analyst Geoff Kendrick has indicated that Bitcoin might fall below $60,000 before the weekend due to concerns over geopolitical risks. However, Kendrick views this potential drop as an opportunity for accumulation. He also highlighted a significant increase in bullish Bitcoin options positions, noting a rise in open interest for options with an $80,000 strike price expiring on December 27. Kendrick further pointed out that Bitcoin has not emerged as a safe haven against geopolitical tensions. He stated, 'Gold is a geopolitical hedge. Bitcoin is a tool to hedge against traditional financial issues such as bank failures or de-dollarization and sustainability issues of the U.S. Treasury.'
