Bitcoin Dips Below $60k: Are We Nearing a Price Bottom?

Bitcoin (BTC) has shown remarkable stability, maintaining a price above $60,550 over the past four months, despite widespread fears of further crypto market downturns. On Wednesday, the leading cryptocurrency traded at approximately $61,377, having recently dipped from a high of around $70,000.

Could this be a buying opportunity, or is a deeper correction on the horizon? Read on to explore the latest on Bitcoin’s price action and what experts are saying about what’s next.

Cash Flow Dynamics in Bitcoin ETFs

In a positive turn, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed a small yet significant cash inflow of $31 million after more than two weeks of sustained outflows. Fidelity’s FBTC and Bitwise-backed BITB saw cash inflows of about $49 million and $15 million, respectively.

Conversely, Grayscale’s GBTC reported a cash outflow of approximately $30 million on Tuesday, while BlackRock’s IBIT showed no cash flow activity.

Signs of a Local Bottom?

CryptoQuant’s Gustavo Faria suggests that Bitcoin’s current market structure indicates a potential local bottom. Analyzing on-chain data, CryptoQuant observed that short-term Bitcoin holders are experiencing negative average profitability, a common indicator of a local bottom.

Additionally, the Bitcoin futures market has seen a decline of about $3 billion in open interest over the past three weeks, accompanied by near-zero funding rates.

The Road Ahead for Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s price could likely close the month around $61,000. However, if it consistently closes below $60,000 in the coming weeks, the flagship cryptocurrency might drop towards $50,000. On the upside, the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching the 50 percent level, which could signal a market rebound ahead.

The experts are weighing in, but what do YOU think? Will Bitcoin rebound or head towards $50k?
