Bitcoin is trying to recover from the sharp decline it experienced in August, when it fell below $50,000. At that point, BTC rose above $60,000 but failed to hold on there.
BTC, which last rose above $60,000 over the weekend, faced a strong rejection and fell back to $58,000 levels.
While this decline has made investors nervous about further declines, Deribit warned of further declines in Bitcoin.
Cryptocurrency options exchange Deribit said in its latest report that Bitcoin struggled to break out of the $61,700 resistance level but failed to do so, adding that there were signs of further declines.
Deribit analysts stated that despite the recent positive news in Bitcoin, the lack of price growth indicates a risk of further declines, and that despite large hedge funds announcing an increase in Bitcoin spot ETF assets in their SEC Q2 13F filings, Bitcoin's price did not experience a significant increase and there may be further declines in the future.
