Bitcoin Price Drops to $67,000 Despite Trump’s Pro-Crypto Comments, Further Correction Ahead?
Pioneer cryptocurrency Bitcoin has registered a 1.13% decline in the past 24 hours to trade at $67,400. Despite a strong pro-crypto stance from US presidential candidate Donald Trump at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, this massive selloff has raised concerns in the market about the asset’s sustainability at a higher price. However, given the recent three-week rally, a slight pullback this weekend is justifiable and necessary to regain the depleted bullish momentum.
Bitcoin Price Flag Formation Hints at Opportunity to Break Beyond $80,000
The medium-term trend Bitcoin Price remains a sideways trend amidst the formation of a bullish flag pattern. This chart pattern is defined by two descending lines that are currently shaping the price trajectory by providing dynamic resistance and support.
On July 5, BTC saw a bullish reversal from the flag pattern at $53,485, increasing its asset by 29.75% to a high of $69,400. This recent spike followed the market’s positive sentiment towards the Donald Trump speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville on Saturday afternoon.
Bitcoin Price | Tradingview
In his speech, Trump outlined several pro-crypto initiatives: he promised to replace SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on his first day in office, to establish a Strategic National Reserve of Bitcoin if elected, to ensure that the U.S. government holds all of its assets. Bitcoin assets and block any attempt to create a central bank digital currency (CBDC) during his presidency.
He also claimed that under his leadership, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will skyrocket like never before.
Despite Donald Trump’s optimistic promises, the BTC price failed to reach $70,000 and is currently trading at $67,400. As a result, Bitcoin’s market cap has dipped slightly to hover at $1.335 trillion.
However, this pullback is justified, as Bitcoin price has recently seen significant growth over the past three weeks, which has significantly improved market sentiment. Thus, price action over the weekend could replenish the depleted bullish momentum, potentially strengthening an attempt to break out from the flag pattern at $70,130.
A successful breakout will signal the continuation of the uptrend and extend the Bitcoin price forecast target at $78,000, followed by $84,000.
On the other hand, if the supply pressure on the upper trendline persists, the asset price could trigger further corrections for a few weeks or months.
Technical indicator:
- Pivot levels: The traditional pivot indicator suggests that the price pullback could see immediate support at $64,400, followed by a correction floor at $56,700.
- Moving average convergence-divergence: A bullish crossover state between the MACD (blue) and the signal (orange) ensure that the recovery dynamics are intact.

Former White House official Anthony Scaramucci says cryptocurrency bull market could be sparked by regulatory clarity
Anthony Scaramucci, founder of Skybridge Capital, says the next cryptocurrency bull market could be sparked by a new wave of clear cryptocurrency regulations.
In a new interview On CNBC’s Squawk Box, the former White House communications director said he and two other prominent industry figures traveled to Washington, D.C. to speak to officials about the dangers of Sen. Elizabeth Warren and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler’s hardline approach to cryptocurrency regulation.
“Mark Cuban, myself, and Michael Novogratz were in Washington a few weeks ago to speak with White House officials and explain the dangers of Gary Gensler and Elizabeth Warren’s anti-crypto approach. I hope that message gets through…
“Overall, if we can get regulatory policy around Bitcoin and crypto assets in sync, we will have a bull market next year for these assets.”
Scaramucci then compares crypto assets to ride-hailing company Uber, saying regulators were initially wary of the service but eventually decided to adopt clear guidelines due to public demand.
“Remember Uber: Nobody wanted Uber. A lot of regulators didn’t want it. Mayors and deputy mayors didn’t want it, but citizens wanted Uber and eventually accepted the idea of regulating it fairly. I think we’re there now.”
The CEO also says young Democratic voters believe their leaders are making the wrong choices when it comes to digital assets.
“I think President Trump’s move toward Bitcoin and crypto assets has shaken Democrats to their core, and I think very smart, younger Democrats are recognizing that they are completely off base with their positions, completely off base with these SEC lawsuits and regulation by law enforcement, and now they need to get back to the center.”
