What To Expect For The Bitcoin Price After The Weekend Breakdown Below $70,000

Crypto analyst Doctor Profit has provided insights into what to expect from the Bitcoin price after it dropped below $70,000 over the weekend. This comes as the leading crypto continues to face pressure due to the U.S.-Iran war and volatile oil prices. 

What To Expect From The Bitcoin Price

In an X post, Doctor Profit said that he expects the Bitcoin price to move sideways between $57,000 and $87,000. The analyst noted that this sideways price action is not bullish but a preparation for what is coming in the next few months for the leading crypto. He predicts that BTC could drop to between $50,000 and $44,000 in the coming months. 

Doctor Profit also noted that the Bitcoin price is mirroring the 2022 price action, when BTC fell 52% from its all-time high (ATH) before rising 44% from its low, then falling again. As such, the leading crypto is expected to follow the same fractal and rally to the upside in the coming months, then drop below $60,000. 

The analyst said that market psychology supports a relief bounce, as the fear and greed index is currently at an extreme level of fear. As such, the Bitcoin price could move in the opposite direction, with many expecting a decline. Doctor Profit added that before the next leg down, the market needs to create additional liquidity in the downside and take the liquidity that was built to the upside. 

The Bitcoin price, however, continues to face huge resistance at the $70,000 level, negating any sustained rally. BTC also faces pressure amid the Iran war, which continues to make oil prices volatile. The leading crypto had climbed to as high as $71,000 yesterday but sharply dropped below $70,000 following reports that Iran was moving to deploy Naval mines at the Strait of Hormuz. 

Another Local Bottom Could Form Between $57,000 and $60,000

Doctor Profit said he considers $57,000 to $60,000 the local bottom but not the macro bottom, and expects this area to be tested multiple times. The analyst described this range as where it makes sense to buy. He also believes that there is no reason to sell at the moment because upside potential remains. 

Doctor Profit said that the largest and most aggressive long-term bets will be placed much lower between the $50,000 level and into the low $40,000. This is where the analyst plans to re-enter the market with “serious size” ahead of the next bull cycle. This is also the area he expects the Bitcoin price to form a macro bottom. 

The analyst expects the Bitcoin price to drop to the $50,000 to $40,000 range between September and October later this year. In the meantime, he predicts that BTC will continue to see a “long and boring” sideways price action. 

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $69,800, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
