BeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.

Bitcoin update

On June 7, Bitcoin (BTC) broke down from a symmetrical triangle that had been in place since May 19.

It’s likely in the process of completing the fifth and final wave of a bearish impulse that could take it below $30,000.

BTC had been trading inside a symmetrical triangle since May 19. After consolidating for nearly a month, it finally broke down from the pattern on June 7. 

So far, BTC has reached a low of $32,351. The closest support area is near $27,000, created by the 0.618 Fib retracement support level.
