Summary
- Bitcoin slipped below $63,000 amid a broader global risk-asset sell-off, erasing gains tied to optimism over the US-Iran peace deal and pressuring major cryptocurrencies across the board.
- Chart watchers warn that a break below the $59,000 to $60,000 range could signal a deeper bitcoin downturn, with some traders eyeing $45,000 as a potential next downside target.
- Market participants say this cycle is diverging from past patterns as spot bitcoin ETFs and institutional demand reshape flows, dampening hopes for a near-term “altseason” and favoring tokens with real revenue over hype-driven coins.
