Bitcoin is printing new lows after the FTX and Alameda-induced crypto crash that sent the markets tumbling down. BTC reached $15,600 levels on Tuesday and is now trading at its November 2020 lows. Its trading volume has also experienced a dip of 3% sending signals that investors are cautious to take an entry position.
The king crypto is yet to bottom out and analysts are unable to pinpoint the bottom due to various economic factors. However, Web3 consulting firm BDC interviewed 53 C-level executives who have been involved in crypto projects, Defi, and GameFi, about BTC’s next leg in the indices.
The majority of analysts interviewed believe that Bitcoin is likely headed deeper into the bear territory in the coming months.

When Could Bitcoin Bottom Out?
According to the survey, the majority of analysts predict that Bitcoin could bottom out at around $11,479 levels. Nearly 30% of respondents predicted that BTC might bottom out at $11K levels.

The FTX fiasco is most likely to drag BTC down to these levels and also affect the broader crypto markets negatively. The crypto markets have lost nearly $250 billion this month due to the FTX crisis.
The overall market cap fell from $1.1 trillion early this month to $855 billion on Wednesday. The numbers are likely to go down further if the downtrend continues during the weekend.
