Bitcoin fell below 66,000 US dollars for the second session in a row, reaching a daily low of 65,312 US dollars amid a strengthening bearish momentum. This drop heightened fears of a retest of the 60,000 US dollar level, and some analysts warn of a potential drop to 40,000 US dollars. This latest decline has once again raised concerns in the market about a possible retest of the psychological low of 60,000 US dollars. Since Monday, February 9, BTC has lost about 7% of its value — skeptics argue that this drop is structural evidence of a new "crypto winter." Bearish rhetoric is becoming so widespread that it has forced institutional investors to change their forecasts. In particular, analysts at Standard Chartered, who were once among the most ardent optimists in the market, have sharply lowered their predictions. Previously, they forecast a price of 150,000 US dollars by the end of 2026, but now the bank's analysts warn that BTC could drop to 50,000 US dollars before a significant recovery begins.$BTC
