Bitcoin plums new six-week lows as analyst eyes BTC price dip ‘end’ at $72K

MarketsPublishedMay 29, 2026

Why the Recent Bitcoin Price Drop Matters to You

The recent drop in Bitcoin’s price is more than just a number – it affects people who are earning online and looking for ways to generate passive income. With the price of Bitcoin reaching new six-week lows, it’s essential to consider how this impacts your ability to earn through platforms like EcoPool. If you’re interested in eco-friendly and green crypto options, the current market fluctuations may have you wondering what’s next for your investments.

Current Market Trends

Bitcoin’s price has continued to diverge from the thriving US stock markets, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching new record highs. This divergence is causing concern among investors, with some predicting further price drops. However, analyst Michaël van de Poppe suggests that geopolitical changes could still save the Bitcoin price trend, and that the $77,000 mark is crucial for the next leg upwards.

Key points:

• Bitcoin sinks closer to $72,000 as analysis eyes “crucial” BTC price levels.
• US-Iran ceasefire talks send stocks to even higher records as the crypto divergence continues.
• Bitcoin’s 100-day moving average gains significance as a battleground for bulls.

Anticipation of a lasting ceasefire between the US and Iran drove the momentum, even as military strikes continued.

Commenting, trader and analyst Michaël van de Poppe argued that geopolitical changes could still save the Bitcoin price trend.

“Bitcoin is about to collapse to lows, if this level of support doesn’t hold. That’s just the reality,” he wrote in a post on X. 

“Anything between $72,000-74,000 is crucial and could be the end of the correction, especially if Trump comes with a new deal –> rates go down –> oil goes down –> risk-on assets (especially crypto) go higher.”

Van de Poppe suggested that $77,000 was the line in the sand to start the “next leg upwards.”

“If that doesn’t happen, then we’re about to witness another leg towards the lows and probably new lows on the altcoin markets,” he added.

Weekly close tipped to see extra volatility

Continuing the general sense of caution among Bitcoin market participants, trading account CGT Trader warned that BTC long positions could face liquidation next.

“Long squeeze loading …. Price continues to range while funding stays heavily positive and open interest keeps declining. That usually suggests the market is still leaning aggressively long, even as some participants are already closing positions and derisking,” an X post read. 

“At the same time, spot volume continues to fade, which points toward underlying weakness. Given these conditions, a long squeeze looks increasingly likely.”

Looking ahead, trading resource Material Indicators told followers to “expect volatility” on Bitcoin as Sunday’s joint daily, weekly and monthly close approached.

“We have a cluster of liquidations around $76k and a developing H & S pattern that could take price down to the Q2 Timescape R/S Levels in the$68k – $69k range,” it noted, referring to data from its proprietary trading tools. 

“The big tells will be whether bulls can rally from the 100 DMA, and how Weekly RSI is trending after the W close.”
