CRAIG COBB: BITCOIN SMASHES THROUGH SUPPORT AS BEARS TAKE CONTROL
07:45|Craig says Bitcoin did exactly what he expected, breaking below the critical $74,000 support level and quickly falling through $65,000. He believes both the weekly and monthly charts now confirm a downtrend, with lower highs and lower lows pointing toward the possibility of further downside before a true bottom is established. While he's not trying to predict the exact low, Craig says he'd become an aggressive buyer in the $50,000–$55,000 range and would be even more interested if Bitcoin fell into the mid-$40,000s.Despite the bearish outlook, Craig believes Bitcoin is becoming stretched to the downside and could see a relief rally back toward $65,000 in the near term. He also highlights similar bearish structures across Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, and Bitcoin Cash, noting that Cardano produced one of the cleanest short setups of the week. His message remains consistent: follow the trend, manage risk, and focus on high-probability setups rather than trying to pick tops and bottoms.Check Craig out at:Market Intern: https://marketintern.com/The Grow Me Co: https://www.thegrowmeco.com/June 17: Elon, SpaceX, Stablecoins, and the Trillion-Dollar Question
