Crypto Daily reports that Benjamin Cowen expects 
Bitcoin may experience a final capitulation before reaching its cycle bottom. His scenario is conditional: Bitcoin would need to lose the 200-week average before a move toward $40,000 becomes plausible in the analysis.
The outlet identifies support near $62,000 as the immediate technical reference separating a potential relief bounce from a deeper decline. Bitcoin is currently trading at $65,314, placing it above that reported support area but still within a broader downtrend, with a seven-day decline of 13.74%.
This account comes from a single outlet, Crypto Daily, and no independent corroboration is provided in the supplied coverage. The summary does not specify the value of the 200-week average, so the threshold is best understood as a conditional technical marker rather than a confirmed target attached to a stated average.
Market conditions remain weak across the broader crypto sector. Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.27 trillion, Bitcoin is down 2.83% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index is at 10, labeling sentiment as extreme fear. The market structure and sentiment leave the reported $62,000 support area in focus, while Cowen’s $40,000 scenario highlights the potential significance of a break in the 200-week average.
Since this brief published about 8 hours ago, Bitcoin (BTC) has moved from $65,314.00 to $65,003.00 — -0.48%.
