Bitcoin is approaching a critical level as investors see whether the cryptocurrency will manage to maintain itself above the level of $60,000.
According to the CryptoQuant report, unusual volume surges related to large investors are still observed before significant changes in prices. The previous history showed that such volume spikes were present before periods of increased volatility, either bullish or bearish.

Bitcoin Volume Continues to Reveal Market Intent
The significance of volume has undergone a change during this cycle. The relevance of spot trading has been reduced due to increased participation by institutional traders via exchange-traded products.

Therefore, decreased volume does not necessarily indicate lesser institutional participation. Sudden surges in the volume of spot trading could be an indication of massive accumulation, disposal, or movement of coins by the big players.
However, derivatives are now responsible for most of the short-term movements in prices, with future trading being linked to rapid liquidity and price movements.
According to CryptoQuant, there was a huge presence of blocks of trade in significant Bitcoin trend changes between 2024 and 2026.

Macro Events Push Bitcoin Toward Key Support
Bitrue’s chart indicates the impact of the different economic and geopolitical developments on Bitcoin recently.
The value of Bitcoin increased from $77,000 at the beginning of May to more than $82,000 by May 10 due to improved sentiment towards institutions and the purchase of risk assets.
The rally began to taper off as investors cashed in on their gains. In May, concerns over inflation and rising tensions between the US and Iran dampened investor sentiment.

The price of Bitcoin dropped to around $73,600 as risk sentiment weakened in financial markets. There was increased selling pressure at the beginning of June because of the fall of Bitcoin to around $60,850.
The decline occurred amid substantial ETF flows amounting to billions and fears related to Strategy events. It led to liquidations and increased volatility in the crypto space.
Long-Term Targets Extend to $81K, $90K, and Beyond
Having hit the lows in June, Bitcoin managed to recover to the range of $66,000-$68,000 but soon paused. As of June 24, it moved in the range of $62,000-$64,000, forming an important battle between bulls and bears.
Bitcoin observer Celal Kucuker thinks that breaking down from $60,000 may pave the path towards the next drop to $54,000-$56,000 levels.

However, he believes that a rebound off this region may result in another rally towards the price levels of $81,000, $90,000, and even $120,000-$140,000, provided that the general bull trend persists.
At the moment, market participants monitor ETF inflows, inflation figures, central bank moves, and geopolitical developments for signs that may drive Bitcoin’s next major move.
