Economist Doubts Bitcoin’s Sustainability Above $60,000
Peter Schiff, an American stockbroker known for his criticism of Bitcoin, has expressed doubt about the leading cryptocurrency's ability to hold at its psychologically significant support level of $60,000.
In a recent tweet, Schiff speculated that the pullback in gold is over, with the traditional asset currently trading just above $2,300, which he sees as its new $2,000. He perceives a resistance level for gold at $2,400, which he believes is unlikely to hold for long. Schiff noted that Bitcoin presents a contrasting outlook to gold.
While Schiff strongly believes that the pullback in gold is over, he sees the beginning of a pullback in BTC.
According to Schiff, the current price level suggests that Bitcoin has support at $60,000, but he doubts the coin can sustain this level for long.

This new prediction comes just about one week after Schiff stated that a break below the $60,000 mark could trigger a downward spiral to about $20,000.
Despite Peter Schiff’s pessimism about BTC, it’s worth noting that the coin is currently showing a mix of sentiments.
Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently identified a sell signal on the Bitcoin price chart, issuing a cautionary warning to investors. He pointed out BTC’s potential to dip below the $65,500 level, a move that would result in a significant crash for the coin.
