There have been three previous bear crosses in Bitcoin's history, and each marked a bottom for the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Some analysts say that an impending bear cross indicates that a decline in Bitcoin that has been ongoing since last October has nearly run its course and a bottom is near. Several analysts and crypto bulls have said that BTC likely bottomed when its price briefly dipped below $60,000 U.
S. earlier in June. Critics and skeptics argue that the three past instances of a bear cross aren't enough to draw a definite conclusion.
However, each previous bear cross led to a bottom forming in Bitcoin. BTC is currently trading at $62,280 U. S.
Bitcoin has largely been rangebound and trading between $60,000 U. S. and $65,000 U.
S. in June of this year.
