Bitcoin Drops Below $60K, Analyst Predicts Bullish Move After PCE Release
Over the past 24 hours, the Bitcoin price dropped below the psychological $60K mark to trade at $59,457.09 as of 7:17 a.m. EST. Despite this recent retracement, there is still the possibility that the leading crypto will start grinding to the upside soon, according to renowned trader and analyst Michael van de Poppe.
In an Aug. 30 X post, van de Poppe said that BTC “is still acting in between crucial levels.” Following the release of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data today, he believes that Bitcoin will start “grinding upward.” He also highlighted the $61K price point as a key barrier that the crypto will need to rise above for a sustained upward move.
