Bitcoin Bounces Back
In a surprising turn of events, Bitcoin (BTC) managed to reclaim some lost territory after the June 6 Wall Street open, hitting $26,250 on Bitstamp. This comes despite the dark clouds looming from recent legal actions initiated by U.S. regulators, specifically the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has cast a shadow on the crypto market.
SEC’s Legal Moves
The SEC’s troubles started to brew when they slapped Coinbase with a lawsuit, alleging it acted as an unregistered broker. This legal gloom descended right after Binance’s U.S. arm faced its own regulatory furnace. The market reacted, sending BTC down to nearly three-month lows of $25,350 earlier that day. However, it appears Bitcoin was not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
Market Analysts Share Optimism
Amidst the regulatory ruckus, certain analysts spotted a silver lining. Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, noted that despite the SEC’s sting operation, Coinbase’s ‘unregistered securities’ were experiencing minimal outflows. Some traders like Michaël van de Poppe even saw the potential for this dip to mark the low point of the current correction.
Trading Insights and Predictions
As the dust began to settle, trader insights painted a hopeful picture. Maartunn expressed interest in buying BTC under $26,000, while popular trader Moustache remained steadfast in his belief of an upcoming resurgence. “This is all just scaremongering before the real upswing for $BTC begins,” he said, referring to the temporary panic. This kind of buoyancy, even in such stormy seas, is what makes crypto trading familiar and yet so unpredictable.
Support Levels Matter
For traders watching these fluctuations closely, the $26,400 mark, which aligns with the 200-week moving average, becomes a crucial pivot for future price movements. Skew shared a multi-month chart indicating that support levels remain largely untested, hinting at possible recoveries ahead. It’s a classic case of riding the crypto rollercoaster — hold your breath for the dips and throw your arms in the air for the climbs!
