The crypto market continues to focus on the price of Bitcoin, with both optimistic and alarming analyses being shared. Investors inevitably pay attention to these warnings. Today, a concerning warning was issued. Bitcoin critic and financial analyst Peter Schiff disclosed a critical support level for the leading cryptocurrency and also issued a stern warning about potential price drops.
Peter Schiff Tells Bitcoin Investors to Watch This Level
In his latest analysis published on X, Schiff advised Bitcoin investors to closely watch the $60,000 threshold, emphasizing that maintaining this price level is essential to avoid significant downturns.
Although experienced Bitcoin investors are familiar with significant price fluctuations, Schiff warned that new investors holding Bitcoin through ETFs could face unexpected challenges if prices fall below this critical mark.
What Challenges Lie Ahead for BTC Holders?
Responding to a comment expressing optimism about Bitcoin’s current price holding at the $64,000 level, Schiff’s response was succinct: “It won’t last long.” This statement underscored the unstable nature of Bitcoin’s current price position and indicated potential downward pressure in the near future.
Following the most recent halving event, the cryptocurrency Bitcoin has been trading between $63,000 and $66,000. Data shows that Bitcoin is currently trying to solidify $63,000 as a support level, with approximately 1.54 million addresses collectively holding 747,000 BTC at this crucial threshold. Meanwhile, the $67,000 level has also become an important resistance for Bitcoin.
If this level is maintained, the next significant resistance for the cryptocurrency Bitcoin is expected to be between $65,900 and $71,200. After a series of gains, BTC has recently dropped to the $63,237 level and is currently trading at $63,546.
Schiff’s Critique
Peter Schiff’s skepticism towards Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is well-known. Recently, he made headlines again with a statement reflecting his stance against Bitcoin’s viability as a mainstream currency.
In his statement, Schiff attempted to justify his position by pointing out that the transaction cost of Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, had risen to $128.
