Recently, the decline in the price of Bitcoin below the $60,000 mark sparked broad discussion in the crypto market about potential future movements.
Many investors prefer to stay on the sidelines amidst the current volatility, which is influencing broader markets, 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 throughout the second quarter, this level is now under intensified scrutiny.
Mt. Gox payouts: Starting July 2, the defunct exchange Mt. Gox will begin settling its debts to creditors in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, potentially leading to a significant influx of BTC into the market, increasing volatility.
Government Bitcoin sales: Substantial sales of BTC by the US government and similar actions by the German government have negatively impacted market sentiments.
These factors contribute to concerns about further downward pressure on the price of Bitcoin, as market participants brace for potential impacts on liquidity and market stability.

Additionally, alongside QCP Capital’s observations, 10X Research, a chain analysis firm, highlighted concerns regarding Bitcoin liquidity. They warned of a potential “double top” formation—a chart pattern often signaling price declines. Their analysis suggests BTC could test lower levels, possibly reaching $50,000 or even further down to $45,000.
Nevertheless, QCP Capital also notes that while a decline to $50,000 is probable, the market may find strong support at this level. They argue that interest from traditional finance remains stable, supported by global regulatory easing, which could help stabilize the market.
Positive developments are also on the horizon. The anticipated full approval of the Ethereum ETF next week could bring a positive impulse to the market. Additionally, excitement surrounding the Solana ETF fuels discussions and optimism among investors.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near the $61,000 mark. Its trading volume has decreased by 8% compared to the previous day, totaling $20.34 billion.
