Bitcoin to $400K or $20K? Why analysts cannot agree on BTC’s future

    Bitcoin and Ethereum dip by over 5%; BTC sees 20% drop from $75,000 peak.
    Despite short-term dips, indicators show long-term promise.

As a seasoned crypto investor with a few years under my belt, I’ve learned to take the market’s ups and downs in stride. The recent dip of over 5% in both Bitcoin and Ethereum is nothing new to me; it’s just another routine correction in the market.


The value of cryptocurrencies is currently decreasing, as both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), two major players in this market, have dropped by more than 5% within the past day.

Following its peak at an all-time high of $75,000 around mid-March, the subsequent drop has piqued increased curiosity among investors. Notably, Bitcoin experienced a decline of approximately 20% during the last quarter.

Nevertheless, investor enthusiasm for Bitcoin persists.

Ignore the short-term noises 

Traders characterize these price swings as temporary and refer to the recent market decline as a standard “correction” in the financial market’s normal fluctuation pattern.

This was further confirmed by AMBCrypto’s analysis of the Reserve Risk metric.

As a data analyst, I’ve examined this chart that evaluates the conviction of long-term Bitcoin investors regarding its pricing. At present, the Reserve Risk is calculated to be 0.002, indicating a strong sense of confidence among those holding Bitcoin.

Based on the recent price drops, it could be worth considering purchasing more as a preparation for a possible surge in value up to $70,000, potentially putting bearish investors at a disadvantage.

Echoing similar sentiments, Thomas Fahrer, co-founder of Apollo, said, 

The price could potentially drop to $40,000 or soar up to $400,000. Such unpredictability is part of the game, making it an exciting wager.

Drawing parallels with BTC’s current price and its recent all-time-high (ATH), Raoul Pal, added, 

“This is the 4th 20% correction in BTC in 12 months…pretty ordinary stuff.”

Critics being critics 

Critics such as Peter Schiff hold a pessimistic view towards Bitcoin, anticipating a price drop back to $20,000.

Adding to the fray, crypto analysts, Rekt Capital, noted, 

As an analyst, I would rephrase that statement as follows: “With every 1% dip, Bitcoin appears to be approaching its ultimate low point.”

As a crypto investor, I’ve been closely following the market lately and have noticed the recent dip in Bitcoin’s price. While some may criticize this trend, I find myself in agreement with Arthur Hayes, the former CEO of BitMEX, who recently penned an essay titled “Left Curve.” In it, he makes a compelling argument that this very dip represents an excellent buying opportunity for those of us with a long-term perspective. By investing now, we may be able to secure a solid position in the market at a lower cost basis, potentially setting ourselves up for substantial gains down the line.

“This is the perfect time to take advantage of the recent crypto dip to slowly add to positions.” 

Furthermore, Hayes pointed out that Bitcoin functions as a viable investment option when real yields turn negative, providing protection against the deprevaluation of traditional currencies.

In summary, these interactions indicate that although Bitcoin’s price fluctuations have been erratic, its outlook for the future remains optimistic.
