$BTC Bitcoin on the brink: what happens if $62,000 doesn't hold?

Today, the crypto market is under significant pressure. $BTC Bitcoin has lost key support levels amid long position liquidations, outflows from spot ETFs, and a general decline in sentiment across financial markets. Additional pressure comes from geopolitical risks and rising uncertainty among investors.

Currently, the primary support zone remains the $62,000–64,000 range. This is where the future fate of the market will be decided in the short term. If Bitcoin can hold above this zone, the market will get a chance for recovery and to form a local bottom.

However, a breakdown below $62,000 could trigger a new wave of sell-offs. In that case, the next targets will be the $58,000–60,000 levels, and if panic escalates, we can't rule out a drop to $54,000–56,000.

For altcoins, the consequences could be even harsher. Historically, during similar movements of Bitcoin, major altcoins lose 20–30%, while less liquid projects can lose up to half their value.

The coming days could be pivotal for the entire crypto market.
