Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a rough week with a drop of about 8%, but the good news is that buyers were eager to jump on those low prices. Where Bitcoin’s going to go next is a bit of a toss-up. Some people think we’ll see the price dip even further, and others are predicting that we’ll see an uptick again soon.
On December 20, even with Bitcoin’s price bouncing back a bit, American investors weren’t exactly scrambling to put their money into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. Data from Farside Investors shows that there were major outflows (withdrawals) from these funds – to the tune of $617.9 million on December 19 and $277 million on December 20. This suggests traders were cashing in their profits.
Over the next few days, the $100,000 mark is the biggie to watch. If Bitcoin can stay above that, it could give the whole crypto market a boost and push more people to invest in other coins. But if Bitcoin starts to slip and doesn’t maintain above $100,000, short-term traders might be tempted to cash out, which could lead to an even bigger price drop and start a sell-off of other coins.
Speaking of other coins, let’s take a quick look at which ones might perform well in the near future.
As for Bitcoin, it managed to bounce back from hitting the 50-day average price of $92,901 on December 20. But it’s struggling to break the 20-day average price of $98,758. Depending on whether it ends up above or below the average prices, Bitcoin could be looking at either retesting its record high of $108,353 or potentially falling to $85,000.
Let’s touch on a few other coins as well. Sui (SUI) has been dipping lately, but it’s showing signs of aggressive buying at lower prices. Watch out for the $5 mark, as crossing this level could make SUI continue to climb. On the flip side, if it dips below the 20-day average price, it could mean that investors are pulling their money out and the price could continue to drop.
Bitget Token (BGB) has also seen a decline recently, but buyers appear to be jumping in at lower prices. If the price can pass $4.90, we might see a further climb to $5.38 or even $6.
Ethena (ENA) and Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) are both showing signs that could suggest either a climb or a fall, depending on how they react to key price points.
Remember, all trading comes with risks and the above is just a quick rundown of some recent trends. Always do your own research before making any investment decisions.
