Bitcoin price recent plunge below $67,000 has sparked discussions among investors, with fears of further declines looming. Notably, renowned analyst and veteran trader Peter Brandt, who accurately forecasted Bitcoin’s drop to $16,000 in 2022, now cautions that the cryptocurrency could plummet to $48,000.
However, he cited the dip could happen if it fails to sustain critical support levels. Meanwhile, amid the bold forecast and significant options expiry, all eyes are on Bitcoin’s next move.

The recent <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> drop has sent ripples through the crypto community. The flagship crypto’s failure to hold above the $67,000 mark has sparked intense speculation about its future trajectory.
Amid this, crypto market expert <a href="https://coingape.com/peter-brandt-spots-ethereum-heads-and-shoulders-pattern-what-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Peter Brandt</a>, who is also a seasoned trader with a history of accurate predictions, has issued a stark warning. In a recent post on the X platform, he outlined a potential path for Bitcoin’s decline.
In a recent X post, Peter Brandt shared a price chart of Bitcoin, while noting $65,000 and $60,000 as crucial levels for Bitcoin’s near future. According to Brandt, a drop below $65,000 could pull the price towards $60,000. Conversely, a plunge below the $60,000 level might see Bitcoin fall to $48,000.

However, Brandt says that while these are the most straightforward interpretations, the market can be unpredictable. In this context, he stated:
<blockquote>
 Sometimes the most obvious interpretations of a chart work out, most of the time the charts morph.

<h2 id="macroeconomic-factors-options-expiry-in-focus">Macroeconomic Factors &amp; Options Expiry In Focus</h2>
The latest <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-market-face-volatility-after-major-drop-us-ppi-inflation-what-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">inflation</a> data from the U.S. Labor Department has shown signs of cooling. For context, May’s <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-price-advances-us-cpi-inflation-cools/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Consumer Price Index (CPI)</a> and Producer Price Index (PPI) reports suggest cooling inflationary pressures in the nation.
Notably, this development could influence the <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-book-spurs-us-bill-to-abolish-federal-reserve/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">U.S. Federal Reserve’s</a> approach to interest rates. Having said that, if the Fed adopts a more dovish stance, it might offer some relief to the crypto market. A potential policy shift could mitigate further declines in Bitcoin’s price, providing a possible lifeline for investors.
Meanwhile, another critical factor affecting Bitcoin’s price is the recent expiry of <a href="https://coingape.com/20000-bitcoin-options-expiry-positions-max-pain-price-at-68500-whats-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">20,000 Bitcoin options</a> on June 14, 2024. Options expiry events often introduce significant volatility as traders adjust their positions. Notably, the maximum pain point for this expiry was set at $68,500, indicating the price level at which most options would expire.
As of writing, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price</a> stayed in the red while crossing the brief $67,000 mark. Over the last 24 hours, its price saw a high of $68,337.23 and a low of $66,304.57, reflecting the volatile scenario in the market.
