<p>Following a strong start to the week, Bitcoin, the top cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has experienced a notable drop. Currently <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">priced at $66,568</a>, Bitcoin has fallen by 3.83% in the last 24 hours, with a slight decline of 0.25% over the past week. This recent dip may be linked to the U.S. government’s transfer of $2 billion worth of Bitcoin from Silk Road.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Veteran crypto trader Roman Trading predicts that Bitcoin could potentially drop further to $60,000 from its current level.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-btc-to-fall-to-60k">BTC To Fall To $60K</h2>
<p>According to Roman Trading, Bitcoin is showing signs of bearish divergence on its 1-day chart, which suggests a possible double-top reversal. This divergence happens when the price reaches new highs, but momentum indicators like RSI or MACD do not follow suit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, such a pattern often indicates that the upward trend is losing strength and could lead to a reversal. The mention of a double-top setup highlights the chances of Bitcoin peaking before experiencing a downward correction.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Roman Trading suggests that sentiment might become <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/why-is-bitcoin-price-down-today-another-crypto-crash-looming/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">extremely bearish as Bitcoin</a> saw a sudden drop from $69,811 to $66,842, a decline of nearly $3,000 in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although, the trader predicts that Bitcoin could fall further if it fails to hold the resistance level at $66,000. The next key levels to watch are $64,000, and potentially $60,000.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-us-government-moves-2-billion-btc">US Government Moves $2 Billion BTC</h2>
<p>The recent drop in Bitcoin’s price might be linked to recent actions by the U.S. government. On Monday, the government transferred $2 billion worth of seized Bitcoin, causing a significant market impact.</p>

<p>This move came just two days after presidential candidate <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/bitcoin-to-hit-ath-after-donald-trump-bitcoin-conference-2024-speech/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Donald Trump announced plans</a> to acquire Bitcoin (BTC).</p>
<p>The wallet holding 29,800 BTC was first moved to a new address with no previous transactions. This new address acted as an intermediary, forwarding 19,800 BTC to another address. Meanwhile, 10,000 BTC, valued at approximately $670 million, was sent to a third address.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-ray-of-hope">A Ray Of Hope</h2>
<p>Despite the bearish signs, Roman Trading is still positive about Bitcoin’s future. If the market becomes too negative, it might help set up a big price increase, as overly worried traders could create the right conditions for a rally.</p>
