Bitcoin recently hit a new all-time high of $111,900, but some analysts are sounding the alarm bells. They believe a significant price drop, even below $100,000, is still possible. Let’s look at why.
Bearish Predictions: A Crash is Coming?
Several analysts are pointing to factors that could trigger a Bitcoin price crash:
-
Geopolitical Uncertainty: The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict is a major concern. Investors might shift to safer assets like gold, reducing demand for Bitcoin.
-
Bitcoin ETF Outflows: Last week saw modest outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, hinting at decreased investor confidence.
-
Technical Indicators: Analysts are citing technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) as signs of weakening bullish momentum. Both suggest a potential correction is on the horizon.
Different analysts have different price targets for this potential crash, ranging from $96,765 to $99,000, all involving a retest of the crucial $100,000 support level. One analyst even cautioned against being overly optimistic about Bitcoin’s current price.
Bullish Predictions: To the Moon!
However, not everyone is bearish. Some analysts are still predicting significant price increases for Bitcoin:
-
Breaking Out: One analyst points to a recent breakout from a technical pattern, suggesting a potential rally to $135,000 is possible.
-
New All-Time Highs: Other analysts believe Bitcoin is poised to hit new all-time highs, with price targets ranging from $120,000 to a whopping $150,000 by late summer 2025.
The Current Situation
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $105,400, slightly down over the past 24 hours. The market is clearly uncertain about the future direction of Bitcoin’s price. Whether it crashes below $100,000 or soars to new heights remains to be seen.
