These quiet periods always are concerning, as the last time Bitcoin was “calm,” it preluded a crash of nearly 50%.
So, is history about to repeat itself? Will Bitcoin fall through the $3,200 level and crater to new multi-year lows? Or is the digital asset destined to recover? Also, is Bitcoin likely to go much higher going forward and longer term?
I believe that this time the calm before the storm will lead to a rebound in prices. Moreover, numerous factors suggest the current bear market is likely going through a prolonged bottoming process right now.
Ultimately, the start of a new bull run appears inevitable. Furthermore, improved adoption amongst users and an increased presence by institutional investors should substantially boost sentiment and drive demand going forward. Therefore, Bitcoin is likely very close to a bottom here, and the digital asset probably has substantial upside potential going forward.
