The recent drop in Bitcoin’s price below the $60,000 threshold has sparked widespread discussion in the crypto market about potential future movements. Many investors prefer to stay on the sidelines in light of the current volatility affecting the broader market, including BTC. However, crypto firm QCP Capital shared its perspective on potential future price movements of Bitcoin, identifying several factors that could lead to a drop to $50,000.
Pressure on the $60,000 support level: Historically strong in the second quarter, this level is now under heightened scrutiny. Payouts from Mt. Gox: From July 2, the defunct exchange Mt. Gox will begin to pay off its obligations to creditors in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, which could lead to a strong influx of BTC into the market, increasing volatility.
Bitcoin sales by the government: Significant BTC sales by the US government and similar actions by the German government have had a negative impact on market sentiment. These factors contribute to concerns about further downward pressure on Bitcoin’s price as market participants prepare for potential impacts on liquidity and market stability.

In addition to observations from QCP Capital, 10X Research, a chain analysis firm, raised concerns about the current Bitcoin liquidity situation. They warn of a potential “double top” formation – a chart pattern that often signals a price decline. Their analysis indicates that BTC may test lower levels, potentially reaching $50,000 or even dropping further to $45,000.
Nevertheless, QCP Capital also notes that while a drop to $50,000 is likely, the market could potentially find strong support at this level. They argue that interest from traditional finance remains stable, supported by a general easing of regulations globally, which could help stabilize the market.
On the horizon, there are also potential positive events. The expected full approval of a spot Ethereum ETF next week could bring a positive impulse to the market. Additionally, excitement around the Solana ETF is fueling discussions and optimism among investors.
At the time of writing this article, Bitcoin is trading close to the $61,000 mark. Its trading volume has dropped by 8% compared to the previous day, reaching $20.34 billion.
