Bitcoin’s Market Performance
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin’s value has risen by 8%, currently trading at $90,301. It has managed to maintain a value above $90,000, showing only minor dips rather than a drastic correction. Over the past week, Bitcoin’s value has seen a modest increase of 1.9%. However, the past month has been more volatile, with a decrease of 6.1%.
This fluctuation has impacted Bitcoin’s market cap, which has increased by 7.4% to $1.78 trillion. In contrast, the 24-hour trading volume has declined by 20.8%, standing at $57.4 billion.
Market Predictions
Tom Lee, the head of research at Fundstrat, predicts a market bottom for Bitcoin could form as early as this week. This would mean that the asset could rebound from lower levels, potentially increasing its price. However, Lee also suggests that there may be more short-term volatility before a significant rebound can occur. He predicts that Bitcoin could potentially drop to $62,000 this month, one of its lowest levels in the past four months.
On the other hand, Network economist Timothy Peterson has a more optimistic view. In a recent post, he stated that there is a 95% chance that Bitcoin will not fall below $69,000. His prediction is based on a chart that uses historical data to predict Bitcoin’s lowest price.
Bitcoin’s value received a boost after plans were announced to establish a crypto reserve, causing an 8% surge and a peak value of over $93,000. However, this rally was short-lived, as Bitcoin’s value fell nearly 10% to $83,180 the following day. This drop was believed to be a reaction to the announcement of trade tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which were put into effect on March 4.
