After another unsuccessful attempt to decisively reclaim the $72,000 resistance, bitcoin\u2019s price dipped by two grand again, slipping below $70,000.<\/p>\n

Popular analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe weighed in on BTC\u2019s longer-term performance, explaining why the current environment could be a \u201cgreat time to buy.\u201d<\/p>\n

BTC Tanks as STHs Reach Capitulation<\/h2>\n

A week ago, bitcoin peaked at $76,000 for the first time in a month and a half. The subsequent rejection pushed it south to under $68,000, where it found some support and jumped to $72,000 yesterday. However, it was stopped once again and dipped below $70,000 earlier this morning, as it continues to be heavily influenced<\/a> by the war in the Middle East as well as the developments<\/a> in other financial markets.<\/p>\n

Van de Poppe noted that short-term holders of the largest cryptocurrency are in \u2018massive losses, a phenomenon called \u2018Capitulation.\u201d He added that this metric\u2019s indications now mimic current market sentiment \u2018quite well.\u2019<\/p>\n

The analyst explained that many investors anticipated a strong BTC rebound when it initially dropped to $80,000, which is why they bought more. However, as the asset continued to retrace to sub-$70,000 levels, their positions turned red almost two months ago.<\/p>\n

This flipped<\/a> the overall market sentiment quite \u2018fearful,\u2019 and van de Poppe said he hasn\u2019t seen it this bad before. However, \u201cthis has proven to be a great time to buy assets, as markets are always higher 12 months after such a capitulation event.\u201d<\/p>\n
