Bitcoin hovered below $62,000 as the market sold off, while on-chain signals suggested large holders were active around the $60,000–$61,000 low. Data cited by analyst Woominkyu indicates 11,422 BTC (about $700 million) was withdrawn from exchanges over the following five days, alongside an Exchange Whale Ratio spike to 61.6%. The move followed a June 2–3 inflow surge linked to older dormant coins, which coincided with BTC sliding from $71,000 toward $60,000.

Bitcoin fell more than 2% over the past day and traded at $61,336.93 at press time, putting the $60K level back in focus. Over the last month it dropped more than 24%, sliding from about $82k in mid-May to roughly $61k at publication. On-chain data now shows growing capitulation signals, with CryptoQuant’s Supply in Loss (7D MA) moving above 50% for the first time since November 2022.

Bitcoin has moved out of the accumulation phase that powered its earlier-year rally and is now in a distribution regime, as investors increasingly sell into strength. The Bitfinex Alpha report links the shift to spot ETF outflows, macro headwinds, and weakening spot demand, with analysts warning that a sustained break below $60,000 could deepen downside pressure.

Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards says bitcoin treasury firms are adding debt at record levels to finance BTC accumulation, arguing the approach depends on unsustainable "fake yield". He links the dynamic to an October 2025 warning and says the roughly 200 treasury vehicles could amplify selloffs if prices drop. The comments come as Strategy holds about 76% of corporate BTC and, per Cryptoquant, non-Strategy buying fell to a combined 1,000 BTC over 30 days, down 99% from an August 2025 peak.

Bitcoin fell below $62,500 after failing to hold above $63,200, keeping price action under the 100-hour simple moving average. The decline pushed BTC to a low of $60,746, with traders watching $61,200 and $60,000 as key supports. On the upside, resistance is highlighted near $62,500 and $63,200, where a break could reopen a test of $63,500.

In a June 6 interview with Nathalie Brunell, macro analyst Luke Gromen said Bitcoin's inability to push decisively higher may be influenced by derivatives that can absorb buying pressure without requiring spot BTC purchases. He said he only "nibbled" and has not meaningfully rebuilt the position he previously reduced, while framing BTC's recent range around $58K–$72K as a potentially important signal about liquidity and market structure.

Grayscale says bitcoin's slide to a new cycle low below $60,000 has pushed BTC under its long-term valuation average. The firm highlights two swing factors for what comes next: the U.S. Senate path for the CLARITY Act and whether leveraged holders can avoid forced unwinds that may reignite volatility.

Bitcoin posted its lowest weekly close since the second half of 2024 last week, falling more than 8% over seven days as broader crypto markets retreated. On June 9, 2026, with BTC trading below $62,000, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao wrote on X that Bitcoin won't be "dead" for long, as traders watched repeated rebounds near $60,000 and resistance around $65,000–$66,200.
