Cryptocurrency analyst Kael van de Poppe diagnosed that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently positioned at a crucial inflection point.

Presenting future scenarios for Bitcoin via his X (formerly Twitter), he analyzed the situation as follows:

■ Downside Scenario: Drop to $61,000–$65,000 if $71,000 is Breached He warned, "If BTC fails to hold the $71,000 mark, it could drop to $61,000–$65,000." However, he added, "The scenario of BTC falling below $61,000 is unlikely." This is because that range is where the 200-day moving average is located, and even in past market cycles, deeper declines have not occurred.

■ Upside Scenario: Bullish Shift if $76,600 is Broken Through On the other hand, what would happen if the $71,000 support line is maintained and the $76,600 resistance line is broken through? He offered a positive outlook, stating, "In this case, a strong uptrend could emerge alongside an altcoin rally."
