- Bitcoin is trading near $60,000, a key support level, as Wall Street opens on Monday.
- Bitcoin' 200‑day simple moving average now acts as low‑time‑frame resistance, a bearish technical signal.
- Trader Daan Crypto Trades says Bitcoin may stay in a $60K‑$80K range but warns against turning bearish at the low.
- Rekt Capital notes Bitcoin has dipped below its 200‑week SMA for the first time in this bear cycle, a historically bearish formation.
- QCP Capital cites macro headwinds – U.S. Fed interest‑rate expectations, the yen past 160 per dollar, and the U.S.-Iran conflict – as “tapping it on the shoulder.”
- QCP Capital adds that if Bitcoin holds while Asian equities weaken, it could reinforce a standalone crypto narrative; otherwise, the apparent decoupling may be delayed.
Why it matters: Crypto investors face heightened risk as Bitcoin’s $60K floor shows signs of cracking under combined Fed rate expectations, a weakening yen and renewed US‑Iran tensions, potentially eroding the nascent decoupling from equities. Support failure triggers rapid price drops and prompts institutional funds to shift capital toward safer assets.
