Upcoming Shifts in Bitcoin Pricing: Will It Fall Below $60,000?

Bitcoin has shown extreme volatility in late January and early February, plummeting from over $90,000 to a 15-month low of $60,000 in under ten days. Since that crash, Bitcoin has remained sluggish, trading primarily below $70,000 without signs of a breakout.

Michaël van de Poppe, Founder and CIO of MN Fund, highlighted this stagnation as Bitcoin’s volatility approaches its lowest level post-crash. He warned, “There’s a significant move on the horizon,” elaborating on strategies for buying and selling depending on market trends.

What’s Next: Below $60K or Above $80K?

“The volatility on #Bitcoin is the lowest it has been since the crash. That means; there’s a big move on the horizon. If we dip, I’ll be a big buyer, for sure. If we go back upwards, I’ll start taking some profits on a test at $80-85K to be trading the trend.”

Van de Poppe expresses confidence in buying should Bitcoin dip again, while planning to extract profits if the price rebounds to the $80,000-$85,000 range.

Merlijn The Trader emphasized the critical role of the current $67,000 level. He suggested if this support were to break, a significant drop to $60,000 could be imminent, potentially even below $50,000, depending on market reactions.

“BITCOIN IS AT THE CRUX: $67K. Reclaim $73K and trend repair begins. Lose $60K, and liquidity vacuum opens below. Next real demand zone: $48K–$49K (0.618 retrace). This isn’t volatility; it’s the market choosing a direction.”

On a less pessimistic note, analytics platform Glassnode mentioned Bitcoin could descend to around $55,000 if market conditions deteriorate, which might impact traders’ strategies.

A Glimpse into 2026

Doctor Profit, who predicted Bitcoin’s decline beneath $100,000 by the end of 2025, pointed out the cryptocurrency’s price is currently 50% lower than its peak in October. He remarked, “It’s unfortunate to lose money, but losing it in terms of USD is even worse.”

Profit predicts 2026 will favor precious metals like gold and silver, which have also faced volatility. For example, gold surged to a new peak of $5,600/oz before retreating, while silver has also fluctuated substantially this year.
