Bitcoin price forecast: BTC price dropped by 1.1% in the last 24 hours to trade around $58,090 at press time. Despite optimism among the market participants about Bitcoin’s recovery, several factors continue to hold it below the $60,000 threshold. Regulatory challenges, market sentiment, technological developments, and macroeconomic trends all play a role in its current value. Understanding these forces can offer insights into Bitcoin’s future and investment potential. Will Bitcoin break this barrier before the Bitcoin 2024 conference on July 25?

BTC’s price recently rebounded from its fall and started making higher highs and higher lows—clear signs of an uptrend. However, zooming out, the asset seems to form a rising wedge, which usually breaks out to the downside. 
The <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin">Bitcoin price</a> action is trending below the 21-day, 50-day, and 200-day simple moving averages. Price action recently touched the 50-day SMA and was rejected. The BTC price can drop by 3.6% before attempting a 6.5% rally to the top trend line. 
The current major support level for Bitcoin is around $54,000. A break below this could cause the asset to drop to $51,500. However, if the price breaks above the rising wedge (although rare), Bitcoin may experience an explosive move to the upside, breaking past the $60,000 resistance level. 
Bitcoin transaction fees have dropped to a four-year low. As of July 7, 2024, the average fee for a Bitcoin transaction was $38.69, last observed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decreasing transaction costs may be attributed to reducing demand for block space.&nbsp;

Data from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://studio.glassnode.com/metrics?a=BTC&amp;m=addresses.ActiveCount&amp;s=1678807143&amp;u=1720569600&amp;zoom=">Coinglass</a> shows that the number of unique addresses active in the network reduced from 1.17 million in March to just above 652,000 in July. The <a rel="nofollow" href="https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/">Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index</a> supports this data&nbsp;at 29 (Fear). It indicates investors are uncertain about the market direction and are moving to the sidelines. 
Furthermore, the Bitcoin mining industry is experiencing income stress. The recent Bitcoin price drop has resulted in a decline in the hash rate, pushing miners into an elevated risk of capitulation. 
These factors may impact Bitcoin price negatively, suppressing it below the $60,000 level.&nbsp;
