<p>As Bitcoin price approaches the crucial support level around $56,500, most analysts believe a general market rebound could occur. However, if Bitcoin price consistently closes below $56.5k, further crypto capitulation will be inevitable in the coming weeks.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>In such a scenario, Bitcoin price could drop towards the next major support range between $40k and $50k.</p>
