Bitcoin ($BTC) fell sharply this week, dropping nearly 5% as geopolitical tensions and rising bond yields triggered a broad risk-off selloff across crypto and equities.
In addition, more than $657 million in crypto positions have been liquidated in the past 24 hours, with nearly 90% of the liquidations tied to long positions.
As a result, Bitcoin is now hovering just above several critical support levels and must reclaim $80,000 to stabilize sentiment, all while macro conditions keep weighing on crypto markets.
The sentiment, however, appears shaky, and the leading artificial intelligence (AI) models forecast further downside by the end of the month.
Machine learning algorithm predicts Bitcoin price on June 1, 2026
Finbold’s AI prediction agent, combining outputs from Gemini 3 Flash, ChatGPT 5.2, and DeepSeek, projects that Bitcoin is going to slide another 3.96% by June 1, 2026, trading at $73,717 on average.
Among the individual models, DeepSeek Chat issued the most bearish target of $72,750, representing a projected 5.26% drop. Gemini 3 Flash forecast Bitcoin at $74,251, while ChatGPT 5.2 predicted a similar move lower to $74,150, both predictions implying more than 3% downside.
The AI models thus showed unusual alignment in their prediction, with each forecasting additional downside rather than consolidation or recovery. The prediction range between $72,700 and $74,300 is also rather narrow, which further underscores the consensus that Bitcoin could remain under pressure in the near term unless macro sentiment improves.
Bitcoin price outlook
Historically, Bitcoin has struggled to sustain rallies in tightening environments, which could justify AI predictions, given that traders increasingly expect tighter Federal Reserve policy as oil spikes once again.
Still, some indicators suggest panic may be overexaggerating. For example, the liquidation wave mentioned in the introduction has also removed a significant amount of leveraged exposure from the market, while the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has dropped to 28, a level historically associated with medium-term recovery rallies.
For now, $75,500 remains the key line to watch. Holding above it could preserve the recovery narrative. However, losing it would place the largest corporate Bitcoin position underwater and potentially remove major support for the market.
