Trader Notes:

Economist Peter Schiff noted Bitcoin briefly fell below $60,000, breaking its February 2025 low and hitting its weakest level since October 2024.

The move erased all gains made since the U.S. presidential election, and analysts warn that if Bitcoin loses today’s low near $59,750, it could trigger another wave of panic selling and a potential “Crypto Black Monday” across digital assets.

Trader Michael van de Poppe argues BTC has reached a historically attractive accumulation zone, citing record-low daily RSI readings, extreme bearish sentiment, and BTC trading near its 200-week moving average.

Scott Melker highlighted Bitcoin’s short-term holders are realizing losses at the highest rate on record, with the short-term holder profit/loss ratio falling to an all-time low.

Market sentiment has mirrored the price decline, swinging from euphoria at May’s peak to extreme pessimism on June 3, a pattern that has historically coincided with market bottoms, though not always.
