Analyst on $17.6K BTC price bottom: Bitcoin 'not there yet'
Bitcoin's (BTC) market behavior is not yet “synonymous” with previous bear market bottoms, one of the leading crypto analysts argues.
In a Twitter thread on Sept. 14, statistician Willy Woo, creator of data resource Woobull, offered three examples of why BTC/USD should still have further to fall.
Despite many calling a new macro price bottom during June’s trip to $17,600, not everyone is confident that Bitcoin will avoid a retest.
For Woo, there is still reason to believe that lower levels will mark the new price floor — and this could be anywhere, including below $10,000.
"Underwater" supply short of bottom zone
One metric Woo flags is the percentage of the overall BTC supply held at a loss — now worth more than the price at which it last moved.

The boom reflects a growing demand for Lido DAO services ahead of Ethereum's scheduled transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake via the Merge on Sep. 15.
LDO, a governance token in the Lido DAO ecosystem, has also undergone an unprecedented price rally in recent months, up more than 350% after bottoming out at $0.39 in June.

BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Bitstamp). Source: TradingViewMarkets lose big in bid to "fight the Fed"
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it hit lows of $19,870 on Bitstamp — its worst since Sep. 9.
The move came amid a stocks rout triggered by Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data for August coming in above expectations.
Despite still being lower than July, the market had hoped for a quicker cooling of inflation more broadly and hence the chance of a quicker loosening of policy by the Federal Reserve.
With that prospect now appearing slim, equities indexes hemorrhaged value, with Apple losing $154 billion — the sixth-biggest daily loss in U.S. stock market history.
