Bitcoin fell below $64,000 in European morning hours and is down 3% in the last 24 hours.
According to 10x Research, the decline appears to be a typical bull market pullback following overbought conditions. Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, said: “BTC is overbought in the short term, as reflected by the rising levels of the Greed and Fear index.
“This suggests that a pullback is likely in the next few days,” he said. According to the CoinDesk 20 Index, the digital asset market is trading 1.8% lower.
Although September is known to be the worst month for bitcoin price considering history, the cryptocurrency is showing its best performance ever.
BTC, which closed September negatively in 8 of the last 11 years, seems to close the month with an increase of at least 7% despite today’s decline, and the recorded rise puts bitcoin on a strong foundation before October. September, which witnessed an average loss of 3.6% since 2023, recorded an average gain of 23% this time.
Some investors predict that the leading cryptocurrency could rise as high as $70,000 in the coming weeks.
Digital asset funds saw inflows of $1.2 billion last week, the largest total since the week ending July 19, according to crypto asset manager CoinShares.

The US bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector received a significant boost when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved physically settled options tied to BlackRock’s ETF (IBIT), the largest of the spot BTC funds in the US.
