“This can’t be a bear market,” Johanning explained. “These elements underscore a fundamental bias crucial for assuming that the current drop is part of a broader bull market trend. Therefore, Bitcoin will eventually find a local bottom and ascend higher,” he wrote on Twitter.
The prediction comes at a time when a handful of analysts are giving bold price forecasts for BTC. Even leading banks like Standard Chartered, among others have predicted that Bitcoin could breach the $100,000 level in a year. ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood has been repeatedly proclaiming that BTC will eventually touch a target of $1 million by 2030.
