On January 18, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) recovered all of its previous losses caused by the FTX epidemic and reached its highest point at $22,216 on Friday afternoon. The asset’s rise to a level of more than $22,000 caused market participants to experience heightened levels of euphoria, even while crypto behemoths like Genesis filed for bankruptcy proceedings.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price To Hit $35K?
Bitcoin recently surpassed the $420 billion market cap as its trading volume witnessed an increase of 17.45% at $25 billion in the course of the past 24 hours. This has led many to believe Bitcoin’s (BTC) price to hit the coveted $25K price mark in the coming days if the crypto market is devoid of any further black swan events. However, according to the prominent crypto analyst, Michael van de Poppe, the price of the flagship cryptocurrency might reach as high as $35,000. According to his analysis, there will most likely be a certain time period this year –ranging from two to four months–during which the markets will see a significant relief rally. It’s possible that the scenario is already set in motion at the present time.
This year we’ll probably have a window of 2-4 months in which the markets are having a strong relief rally.
Might actually be the case right now already.
A rally towards $35K is therefore possible for #Bitcoin.
Be ready, maximize, accumulate this year and you’ll be golden.
