BTC Price News: Will Bitcoin (BTC) rise to $25,000?
Bitcoin continued to remain around or above the $22,000 level over the weekend. The global crypto market cap also remained above the $1 trillion mark even as prices of several altcoins dropped in the last 24 hours.
On the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, the overall market sentiment has improved from “Extreme Fear” to “Fear” in the last few days. Experts believe that BTC may rise above $25,000 in the coming days if the current trends continue.
“Bitcoin traded sideways and dropped to the US$22,000 level after touching above the US$23,000 level in the past week. Despite the drop with increasing selling pressure, BTC has retained 6% of the gains in the past seven days. BTC may likely rise towards the US$24,000 level this week as sellers’ power is accompanied by high volume,” Edul Patel Co-Founder and CEO of Mudrex- A Global Crypto Investing Platform
“Even though things seem favourable for buyers, there are also chances that BTC may fall to the US$20,000 level if it drops below the current level,” he added.
