Peter Schiff posted on June 3 that Bitcoin has too much complacency to be near a bottom and predicted a fall below $20,000 after $50,000 breaks. The same week, Santiment confirmed crowd sentiment hit its most bearish reading in the entire measured period - which historically is not where complacency lives.

Jim Ferraioli, Director of Digital Currencies Research at Charles Schwab, told Bloomberg that the firm's entire investment framework for Bitcoin is anchored to miner production costs, a metric that places the current price dangerously close to the cost floor for the most efficient producers in the world.

Bitcoin is trading at $62,377 at time of writing, sitting on and breaking beneath the lower channel line of the ascending channel that has defined its structure since 2022, with the June monthly close now one of the most important data point for Bitcoin's long-term chart structure.

Santiment data confirms the largest holder cohort shed more than 24,000 BTC last week while micro wallets accumulated, a behavioral split that historically precedes either a capitulation floor or an accelerated breakdown depending on which group reverses first.
