Trading at $63,400 after falling 7% since the U.S. stock market closed on Friday evening, bitcoin has hit a three-month low and returned to the range lows seen earlier this year, CoinDesk reported.
The wider digital asset market experienced sharp declines alongside bitcoin on Saturday, as ether dropped 21.2%, XRP fell 22%, and solana lost 22% over the trailing seven-day period.
Bitcoin’s total weekly retreat now stands at 15.6%, extending a downward trend as red candles multiply across crypto exchange order books throughout the day.
Prices have retreated to levels last recorded in February and late June of this year, matching valuations seen during the prolonged drawdowns of late 2022’s crypto winter.
“We’re watching the fourth capitulation event since the all-time high,” James Check wrote early Saturday, according to CoinDesk.
Check said that the investors booking losses now are largely those who hesitated during the mid-to-high $60,000 range last summer before entering positions above $80,000 in September.
“[They] are now selling at the very price they wish they had taken advantage of three months ago,” Check told CoinDesk.
CoinDesk reported that bitcoin has entered a “deep value” zone following this price compression below the $64,000 threshold.
Check added that while this positioning does not guarantee an immediate market bottom, historical precedent suggests that participants beginning to scale in will eventually record profits.
