Retest of $55k Seen Possible for Bitcoin -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-05

1309 ET - Bitcoin has more room to fall, says Lacie Zhang of Bitget. In a note, Zhang pegs the new support level for bitcoin as low as $55,000. That would put bitcoin back at levels last seen in 2024. "Crypto may be pricing in macro stress faster, not just reflecting it," says Zhang, adding that what is pressuring bitcoin should soon come for equities, despite the recent strength in AI stocks. "Crypto's 24/7 structure, higher leverage, and more reactive retail base mean it often front-runs macro moves, both on the way down and in recovery," says Zhang. "A retest of $55K-$57K remains possible if outflows persist, but crypto may already be closer to clearing this episode than equity markets are." (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
