Crypto analyst Sykodelic said in an X post that Bitcoin's "bleed" is close to ending and argued BTC is unlikely to fall into the $40,000 range, pointing to how 2022 dip buyers waiting for $12,000 were sidelined. He outlined a scenario around a deviation near $60,000 and a potential move back above $74,400, while Willy Woo separately flagged model-based bottom estimates between $46,000 and $54,000. At the time of writing, BTC traded around $68,600, up over the past 24 hours.
