Analyst: Bitcoin price will double in just 15 days!
cryptokoin.com As you’ve seen from , this week Bitcoin has seen significant selling pressure due to flurries of demand and ETF outflows. In the process, it fell below the critical $65,000 support level for the second week in a row. BTC, which is down over 12% from its peak, shows that market sentiment is shifting towards the bearish trend. Notably, major spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a total net outflow of $145.9 million, led by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC). Outflows aggravated following the Fed’s decision to keep interest rates between 5.25% and 5.50%. However, the Fed gave hints of a possible interest rate cut later this year.
Despite the current negative trend, analyst George from CryptosRUs remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. George predicts that the price of Bitcoin will potentially double within 15 days, citing historical examples where Bitcoin has recovered strongly following periods when it gained valuable interests in the US stock market. Earlier this year, Bitcoin showed its resilience by rising 80% after a major decline. George underscores Bitcoin’s solid fundamentals amid media setbacks and economic uncertainties such as inflation. Factors such as the decrease in supply resulting from halving events and increasing global demand stand out as the main factors expected to feed significant price increases in the future.
