Peter Schiff, chief economist and global strategist at Europac, has stated that Bitcoin ( BTC ) price may have found support at $61,000. As Bitcoin price extended May’s losses in the first four days of this month, Schiff argued that the flagship coin may have found short-term support around its February low as of June 4. “Bitcoin found some short-term support around $61,000. That’s slightly above the February low of just under $60,000. It makes sense that there would be some initial support there. So far, it’s bounced over $2,000 off that low. Let’s see how long it lasts,” Schiff noted in an X post. Notably, the Bitcoin skeptic had previously cautioned traders of a potential crypto panic selling catalyzed by a possible stock market correction.
