Why is the Bitcoin Price Down Today?
Jun 21, 2024 2:37 AM

Bitcoins price continues declining, unable to find grounds for a rebound throughout this week. The broader cryptocurrency market is also feeling the pressure as the last 24 hours saw most of the coins drop in value.

Bitcoins Price Tumbles Below $64K

Bitcoin has been having hard times throughout the past few days, completely unable to stage any sort of recovery.

As CryptoPotato reported earlier this week, the price attempted to push toward $66K but the sellers intercepted the move and reestablished their positions. At the time of this writing, BTC trades below $64K.

The drop coincides with a relative decline in the stock market throughout the past day as well.

Other Reasons Why is the Bitcoin Price Down Today

We reported earlier that the Bitcoin trader fatigue has hit record levels as the price is anticipating a rebound. In essence, what this means is that the crowd is mostly fearful or disinterested at the current price range. According to analytics company Santiment:

This extended level of FUD is rare, as traders continue to capitulate. BTC trader fatigue, combined with whale accumulation, generally leads to bounces that reward the patient.

However, there are additional factors to keep in mind. For once, the retail crowd is not here yet, according to research.

Moreover, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are seeing considerable outflows, meaning people are selling through the ETFs. For the past week, all spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US experienced a total of $900 million in losses for the week.
