Guy Fawkes 
Bitcoin is testing the patience of every holder watching their screen. BTC USD at $59,890, down -0.5% in 24 hours and -5.1% over the past week, and the more important question isn’t where the price is right now, but whether the floor has already been laid.
The next Bitcoin halving sits roughly 22 months out. That timing matters more than most traders currently want to admit. The catalyst for the latest leg down was a confluence of macro pressure: a tech stock sell-off and persistent expectations of higher US interest rates pushed investors out of risk assets broadly, the Financial Times reported.
BTC broke below $60,000, a level that had held as support for 20 months, while Solana dropped 47% from comparable highs versus Bitcoin’s 32% decline, and neither asset has meaningfully recovered during equity market bounces.
That divergence from stocks is notable. BTC’s long-standing correlation with equities appears to be fraying rather than healing. The macro picture remains unsettled, but on-chain and technical data now offer enough evidence to map out what happens next at key levels.
Can Bitcoin Hold $58K or is a Deeper Retracement Coming?
Nothing happened on the markets today for $BTC.
Still acting around $60K, and that means: under the 200-Week MA.$STRC is trading at $75 and didn’t have a massive continuation of a drop.$MSTR continues the freefall and has the lowest RSI read since the crash of Luna ’22.

The short-term range is well-defined: support clusters in the $58,000–$59,000 band, with the 24-hour low sitting near $58,000, and immediate overhead resistance falls between $61,800 and $61,900.
Three scenarios are worth mapping here.
Bull case: BTC USD reclaims $61,000 with sustained volume, invalidates the recent breakdown structure, and sets up a retest of the mid-$60Ks ahead of any fresh macro tailwind. The
Base case: price grinds sideways in the $58K–$61K band for weeks, digesting the rate-fear-driven sell-off while waiting for a clearer catalyst, a Federal Reserve pivot signal, a new spot Bitcoin ETF flow surge, or simply time.
Bear case: a decisive daily close below $58,000 opens the door to the low- to mid-$50Ks, a scenario that becomes more likely if dollar liquidity conditions tighten further.
With the halving 22 months out, the historical pattern, BTC tends to enter a sustained accumulation phase 18–24 months before the supply cut, provides structural support to both the base and bull cases.
That doesn’t make the dip painless. It does suggest that buyers entering near current levels have a defensible thesis, provided they size for volatility.
Bitcoin Hyper Targets Early-Mover Upside as BTC USD Tests Key Levels

Spot BTC USD at $59K is a known asset with a known ceiling; institutional ownership is deepening; price discovery is maturing; and the asymmetric upside that defined earlier cycles is compressing with each halving.
Traders looking for leverage on the Bitcoin ecosystem without simply leveraging spot BTC are starting to look one layer down. That’s where Bitcoin Layer 2 infrastructure becomes relevant, and where the current presale for Bitcoin Hyper comes into the picture.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is positioning itself as the first Bitcoin Layer 2 to integrate the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM, the execution environment behind Solana’s high-throughput smart contract performance), directly onto a Bitcoin-secured base layer.
The pitch is specific: preserve Bitcoin’s security and trust while eliminating its core bottlenecks (slow transactions, high fees, limited programmability) through extremely low-latency Layer 2 processing and a Decentralized Canonical Bridge for native BTC transfers.
The presale has raised $32,884,689.22 at a current price of $0.0136822 per $HYPER, with staking available for early participants. Coverage of the raise has noted the SVM integration as the headline technical differentiator.
