Bitcoin seems to be moving sideways as the leading crypto is trading up and down the $20,000 mark. BTC slipped below $20K twice this week after managing to claw back above $22K. Another slump in the indices could take Bitcoin near the $18,000 level and might even reach a low of $16,000. Analysts are predicting that a recession is around the corner and both the crypto and stock markets could face further corrections.
Gareth Soloway, the Chief Strategist at InTheMoneyStocks.com predicted that Bitcoin might nosedive to $10,000. Soloway claims that BTC might jump to around $25,000 to $30,000 levels showing false signs of recovery such as a bull trap. BTC could then begin plummeting and have a fall to $10,000 at various stops.

The strategist believes that Bitcoin could fall to $10,000 within the next six months. Soloway also stated that Bitcoin might take anywhere between 2 to 3 years to recover from the 2022’s dramatic market crash, as a recession would kick in making it harder to experience a bull run.
“When you have everyone calling for a low of $20K. You have a lot of people putting stops just under $20K, and it’s the tendency of a market to run those stops, make people freak out, make the weak hands exit, and then you finally get a short-term bottom. I still see more downside. I still think that we will head down to $12K and that a price below $10K is very possible,” he said to TheCryptoBasic.
