Bitcoin Could Collapse to $2500
Bears continue to predict that BTC hasn’t fallen to the bottom. Asia-Pacific Head of Trading at foreign exchange brokerage Oanda is among the bears who expect a further drop in bitcoin price amidst the huge selloff in the past eleven months.
Explaining the bearish stance, he said, He said: “What I’m looking at here is the way coins have been trading over the last few months. It’s indicated that the bottom is not in so, therefore, I don’t think any mature investor is willing to catch this falling knife. And that tells me there is more room to go and as soon as we hit some of these key round figure inflection points like $3500 and $2500, the psychological impact will weigh on more inexperienced traders.”
The analyst believes that the massive amount of volatility and uncertainty in cryptocurrency markets makes these assets unattractive to both long and short-term investors.
Bitcoin price could move either way in the future. Therefore, traders should keep a keen eye on all the market reports and fundamentals aspects before making or shorting any position in bitcoin and the rest of the market.
