- Analysts predict further weakness is likely, and here’s what they are saying
At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) traded around $58,486 across major crypto exchanges. However, the digital asset’s price had touched lows of $57,700 on US-based crypto exchange Coinbase amid fresh selling pressure.
Notably, before this latest dump, crypto analyst Miles Deutscher had shared an observation: the last few weeks have seen prices rise during Asian hours and dip during US trading hours.
“Asia bids, America dumps,” the analyst opined.

Potential downside to $56k?
CryptoQuant head of research Julio Moreno suggests the $56k area remains key. If the price falls below this, the analyst sees a further weakness. According to Moreno, Bitcoin’s market cycle indicator has flashed bearish again and BTC risks a deeper correction below the demand zone.
“From a valuation perspective, if the price pierces $56K to the downside, risks of a larger correction increase,” the CryptoQuant analyst noted.

Could Bitcoin see $40 next?
Altcoin Sherpa is outright bearish on BTC price. The crypto analyst shared a chart that suggests the dip is likely to extend to $40k.
The last time Bitcoin traded at these levels was in January, when prices retreated from above $46k to revisit $39k. That’s before bulls saw BTC skyrocket amid the halving sentiment and spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds approval to reach the all-time high above $73k.
BTC price is down 12% in the past month and over -21% since its all-time high in March as of 1:30 pm ET on August 30, 2024.

What about BTC price in September?
Market conditions and events can flip investor sentiment at any time.
However, crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggests September has historically been tough for Bitcoin. This outlook is despite overall projection that the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates could provide tailwinds for risk assets – including cryptocurrencies.
