Context: Bitcoin's price has dropped over 8% from its June high near $67,255, putting the $60,000 support level at risk as traders brace for a deeper selloff amid a wider tech market sell-off led by SpaceX's post-IPO rout. SpaceX's market value has plummeted by over $600 billion, shaking risk appetite across speculative assets. The tech sell-off has also affected chip stocks, with Intel, AMD, Micron, and SanDisk leading the decline.
Key Facts
- Bitcoin has dropped over 8% from its June high near $67,255, currently trading at $62,510, and is getting close to retesting the $60,000 support level.
- SpaceX's post-IPO rout has erased over $600 billion in market value, with its shares dropping roughly 27% from their peak of $211.39 on June 16 to around $150.
- The Elon Musk-led company priced its record IPO at $135 per share earlier in June, raising $75 billion at an implied valuation of about $1.77 trillion, based on 13.08 billion shares outstanding.
- Analyst Nehal noted that there's a high probability of Bitcoin falling under $60,000 if it breaks below $62,200, citing a potential head-and-shoulders pattern on Bitcoin's four-hour chart.
- A decisive four-hour close below the $61,000–$62,000 range would confirm the bearish setup and increase the risk of a deeper decline, with a measured downside target near $55,000–$56,000.
