Bitcoin Navigates Conflicting Signals

Bitcoin's long-term price structure, despite appearing chaotic on lower timeframes, is believed by some analysts to follow predictable macro cycles, indicating optimal periods for accumulation and sale. However, the short-term outlook for Bitcoin is currently flashing warning signs, with key indicators turning bearish. The cryptocurrency is facing significant pressure, and the $60,000 support level is identified as a critical line of defense for the current bull market structure. Slowing ETF inflows and a weak technical setup are contributing to heightened volatility and cautious market sentiment, with a sustained break below $60,000 posing a primary risk.

The current market conditions indicate a challenging period for the second-largest cryptocurrency.
