$60K or $80K; Where will the price of Bitcoin go by the end of June?
For more than a week, the Bitcoin Price witnessed aggressive selling pressure leading to a drop from $71,947 to $66,197. The 8.3% pullback was likely influenced by several factors such as pre-CPI data uncertainty, notable outflow from BTC ETFs, whale distribution and Capitulation of Bitcoin miners. Amid the decline, the coin price developed a bearish reversal pattern and broke key support to signal the continuation of the downtrend.

Bitcoin Price Faces Drop Amid Miner and Whale Liquidation
Top digital asset Bitcoin has been trading sideways for the past three months, resting from the prevailing uptrend. This consolidation rumbling within two parallel trendlines revealed the formation of a bull flag – a chart configuration often detected in a strong uptrend to stabilize price action towards the higher high.
On June 7th, BTC Price faced another reversal of the overall trend line, indicating that investors could witness a prolonged consolidation. The bearish turnaround dropped Bitcoin to a 4-week low of $64,936 while the market capitalization fell to $1.28 trillion.
This current correction was accelerated by FUD around US CPI and PPI data, while sellers got a bigger boost with BTC ETFs witnessing a significant outflow.
Additionally, a recent analysis from crypto trader Alicharts highlighted that Bitcoin miners sold over 1,200 BTC, worth over $79.20 million, contributing to a recent price correction.

On Friday, sellers broke the combined support of $66,588 and the slope of the 50-day EMA. If the breakdown persists, BTC price could fall to a low of $57,000 by the end of June, looking for support at the flag pattern’s lower trendline.
For buyers to regain control, a break above the flag pattern is needed, which could drive a rally to $90,000.
