According to U.Today, Peter Schiff, a well-known gold advocate, has once again expressed his pessimistic view on Bitcoin, emphasizing that the cryptocurrency is at a critical juncture. Schiff recently drew attention to Bitcoin's status, suggesting that its fall into what he refers to as the 'danger zone' could be a significant turning point. Bitcoin has indeed breached the $60,000 mark, a level that had served as a robust psychological and technical support during the 2024 bull run. This decline has further intensified negative market sentiment.
Schiff believes that dropping below this crucial level could signal the end of the bullish run that has enthralled the market over the past year. Current charts show Bitcoin hovering around $58,540, with the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) nearby. Schiff cautions that a prolonged fall below this moving average would confirm the bearish trend, effectively 'ending the rally' and possibly terminating the bull run for the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, an increase in trading volume accompanying the price drop indicates increased selling pressure. This surge in volume is typically a bearish indicator, further supporting Schiff's theory that the market is turning. The sentiment among traders is becoming increasingly cautious, with many preparing for further declines. From a technical perspective, if Bitcoin fails to reclaim the $60,000 level, the next major support is at $51,965. This represents a significant pullback from recent highs, and a drop to this level could trigger further selling.
On the other hand, a rebound from current levels must overcome resistance at $60,000 to invalidate the bearish scenario. A successful push above this could see Bitcoin attempting to reach higher resistance levels near $64,000, offering a ray of hope for bulls.
