when

<p>It seems that there’s no stop to Bitcoin’s downward slide as the BTC price has tanked by 5% in the last 24 hours slipping under $$59,000. As BTC loses its crucial support of $60,000, the next support is at $57,000. The bigger question to Bitcoin investors is whether or not they should buy the dip or wait for further downside.</p>

<p>On-chain data provider Santiment reported that Bitcoin and altcoins are seeing heavy sell-offs hitting nearly two-month low levels. Along with BTC, the Ethereum price also tanked all the way under $3,200 despite the scheduled arrival of <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-ethereum-etf-to-go-live-on-july-15-eth-bull-run/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spot Ethereum ETFs</a> by July 15.</p> 
<p>However, Santiment reported that the crypto community is currently viewing this as a potential buy-the-dip opportunity. However, the firm suggests that investors should wait for the initial wave of enthusiasm to settle before making any fresh purchases.</p>

<p>As per Santiment, the ideal time to purchase would be when traders become skeptical and impatient. The recent BTC price drop has led to aggressive liquidations as many traders had bought the dip when BTC was trading around $60,000. This trend is further evident in altcoins like Ethereum and Solana, which have registered greater falls.</p> 
<p>On the other hand, the <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/spot-bitcoin-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spot Bitcoin ETFs</a> continue to show weakness. On Wednesday, July 3, the spot Bitcoin ETFs showed daily net outflows of stood at $20.5 million. The Grayscale GBTC registered $27 million of outflows while Fidelity’s FBTC was the only ETF to see inflows at $6.5 million. Rest all other ETFs had zero inflows yesterday.</p>
