Bitcoin slipped thrice this week below the $20,000 mark but managed to claw back above $21,500 each time. BTC is now hovering around the $20,000 mark again, and investors are finding it hard to pinpoint the bottom. While some investors claim BTC has bottomed out, others believe the worst is yet to come.
Financial analysts recently debated about ‘should you buy Bitcoin now at $20K’ or ‘wait for further dips’ and buy it at a lower price. CNBC recently held a segment on Bitcoin, and in no surprise, all the analysts revealed that investing in BTC for $20K could still be considered dangerous.

None of the analysts advised entering the BTC market at this period, citing that another crash is around the corner. The debate ended up one-sided as analysts agreed that now is not the right time to accumulate Bitcoin.
Ian Harnett, Chief Investment Officer at Absolute Strategy Research, predicted that Bitcoin could fall to $13,000. The king crypto will shed almost 40% from its current price to reach 13K. Harnett revealed that institutional investors will still be selling BTC at $13K, making it slump furthermore.

Another analyst on the segment, Alex Kuptsikevich, senior market analyst at FXPro, echoed the same thoughts as Harnett’s. Kuptsikevich revealed that the market would take considerable time to recover and could stress investors out. The analyst also claimed that entering BTC at its current price of $20K could be wrong.
“It may not be the best time to buy (Bitcoin). As it may take considerable time before the crypto market digests the recent turmoil and enters a new phase of sustained demand from broad segments of investors,” he said.
