While Bitcoin (BTC) trades at its lowest levels in months, some market 
watchers have warned that the leading crypto may be preparing for another 
major drop as it retests a critical technical area that has historically 
marked a turning point. Related Reading: Zcash Fixes Critical Orchard 
Vulnerability As ZEC Holds $600 Support Bitcoin Tags Key 200‑Week SMA After 
Four Years After falling 15% over the past four days, Bitcoin is attempting to 
reclaim the $64,000 level as support. The flagship crypto had been trading 
between $64,000-$82,000 since the early February crash, holding above the 
upper half of the range for nearly two months. However, this week’s broader 
volatility pushed BTC toward the range’s lower boundary for the first time in 
months, reaching a four-month low of $61,383 on Wednesday night. Amid this 
performance, market observer Rekt Capital highlighted that the cryptocurrency 
had tagged the 200-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) for the first time in this 
bear cycle, which may signal that another correction is coming. As he 
explained, deviation below this SMA has “historically been the key to building 
out a Bear Market bottom formation.” In June 2022, Bitcoin reached this level 
during its bear market correction, quickly losing it as support on the weekly 
timeframe. Following the initial drop below the 200-week SMA, the leading 
crypto traded sideways, briefly retesting this level before continuing its 
descent to its late 2022 bear market bottom. Now, BTC has reached this key SMA 
nearly four years later, suggesting a drop to new lows if the 2022 playbook 
repeats. The analyst noted that Bitcoin has been rejected from a critical area 
and has broken a key level, another similarity to past bear market 
corrections. According to the post, BTC was rejected from the base of the 
Macro Triangle after failing to break past the $82,500 area, revisited the 
50-Month EMA during the recent drop, and is currently breaking down from this 
EMA, a setup that has repeated each cycle before the market bottom. BTC’s 
$60,000 Support About To Give In? Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin 
rallies from the $60,000 region have progressively weakened since 2024, 
signaling deteriorating support. While the price surged 113% from this area 
during the mid-2024 rally, the February 2026 retest only generated a 38% move. 
Now, the cryptocurrency has bounced 4% so far, “but it’s very likely that the 
rebound from here will be even weaker,” the analyst stated, adding that the 
“$60,000 area will be completely lost as support over time.” He also stated 
that during bear markets, Bitcoin tends to form multi-month price clusters, 
followed by new Macro Lower Highs before distributing from the clusters to 
reach new lows. “The good news is there are 1-2 such clusters left in this 
Bitcoin Bear Market, with the Bear Market Bottom being the final cluster,” he 
concluded. Related Reading: Ethereum Ready For The ‘Final Dip’? Analysts Call 
For New Lows As Price Retests $1,900 Meanwhile, Ali Martinez affirmed that the 
recent breakdown from the $72,000 support has left Bitcoin “in a vulnerable 
position,” as it opens the door for a 25%-30% correction based on the MVRV 
Pricing Bands. The analyst previously noted that Bitcoin has consistently 
bottomed between the 1.0 and 0.8 MVRV Pricing Bands over the past decade. Now, 
the next major area of support is between $54,000 and $50,000, where the 1.0 
pricing band is located. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from

In the 13 years that Dogecoin has been in existence, it has seen some 
interesting trends across various months. However, each month has had its fair 
share of greens and reds, but the month of June has mostly defied this. With 
Dogecoin mostly ending June in the red over the years, the odds of this 
repeating itself again are high, as this report takes a look at the numbers. 
June Is The Worst Month For Dogecoin Dogecoin’s historical performance in June 
has been nothing short of disappointing, with more red closes in a row than 
any other month in its history. Data from the CryptoRank website shows that in 
the last 12 years, the Dogecoin price has only ended the month of June in the 
green for only two years. Related Reading: Pundit Shares Why Most People Will 
Miss The XRP Run Interestingly, the first month of June of its existence ended 
in a double-digit loss of 21.4%. Subsequently, the next two years would see 
June close in the green, with 29.3% and 31.6% returns, respectively. However, 
that would be the end of any green closes for the month. Every year after 2016 
has ended in the red, with no reprieve for Dogecoin holders. Following the red 
close of 2025, with losses of 14.2%, it marked nine consecutive years that the 
Dogecoin price has closed the month of June in the red. As a result of these 
red closes, the month of June is the most bearish month for the meme coin. 
CryptoRank data shows an average return of -7.29% for the month, the highest 
of all the months. Its median returns come out to -9.94%, second only to 
December&#8217;s -13.2% in this metric. If the historical trend is followed, then it 
could be another red month for the meme coin. So far, there have not been any 
indications that the price will see an upward reversal. According to Coinglass 
data, the Dogecoin trading volume is still low, continuing to fall in the new 
month. Related Reading: BNB Extended Price Target Says $780 Is Coming, But 
What About $1,000? This decline in the DOGE trading volume suggests that there 
is reduced participation from crypto investors. As the sentiment continues to 
wane, the price could follow, plunging it into the red territory. However, if 
there is a major rise in the Bitcoin price, then Dogecoin could follow and 
change this trend. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
