Ethereum continued to bleed as well, as traders waited for spot ETFs to be listed on stock exchanges.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency trader MartyParty noted that Bitcoin's Relative Strength Index was "almost oversold," a condition favorable for a bounce.

He predicted a move to $65,000 next, and then on, rangebound movement through to the U.S. elections.

To the contrary, a well-known analyst with the pseudonym HORSE sounded a bearish alarm.

"I am fairly confident Bitcoin trades below $60,000 again," the analyst forecasted. "I know we are still mid range, but consolidation and weakness this long, without a close tailwind and already dwindling demand, almost always resolves down before up again."
