Bitcoin Volatility Rises as Traders Prepare for Possible Price Swings

Bitcoin saw increased volatility on June 30, with traders expecting notable price movements for BTC as the important weekly, monthly, and quarterly close candles approach. Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin hit a high of $63,712 in the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. This came after bitcoin reclaimed the important $60,000 level, gaining 4.19% from $60,630 on June 30.

CoinGlass identified $60,583 as a key downside liquidity level, with significant bids extending as high as $59,500. Overall, Bitcoin’s performance in Q2 saw the largest cryptocurrency decline of 11.9%, including a 7.1% loss in June alone. However, this follows a staggering 68% increase in Q1, after the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs sparked a rally to all-time highs of $73,750.

Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading company MNTrading, suggested that the correction phase could be about to end, stating: “A pretty decent weekly candle for Bitcoin is approaching here. I expect the correction to be relatively complete. We also haven’t had the more obvious deep corrections of previous cycles. » Van de Poppe’s analysis indicated a bottom for BTC/USD around $56,500 in early May.

Meanwhile, trader BitQuant recognized that his prediction that BTC/USD would soon reach $95,000 was premature. Reflecting on his past predictions, he admitted: “I was wrong to announce a local high at $75,000 in January because, firstly, BTC never reached $75,000 but reversed to 74 $680, and secondly, it only got there in March. I was wrong then, and I’m wrong now in predicting that BTC would hit $95,000. » Despite these missed targets, BitQuant maintained its confidence that Bitcoin would eventually reach its target price.
