What's Next For Bitcoin? Here's What Analysts Are Saying

As Bitcoin BTC/USD traded muted after briefly touching the $50,000 level earlier on Sunday, here’s what five analysts are saying.

What Happened: Amsterdam-based popular cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe said on Twitter that while longer accumulation could continue on Bitcoin, he also believes the apex cryptocurrency has “bottomed out,” based on multiple indicators.

I still believe we'll have some longer accumulation happening here on #Bitcoin, but I also believe we've bottomed out as multiple indicators show bottoming signals. pic.twitter.com/lxvqiFKR2Q

Pentoshi, another closely-followed pseudonymous cryptocurrency trader with over 408,000 Twitter followers, noted that Bitcoin is facing a “ton of resistance” as it attempts to reclaim the $52,000 to $53000 level. He believes investors should stay short until the cryptocurrency regains the $53,000 level.

So what now? BTC needs to reclaim 52-53k. Currently the local lh. There is a ton of resistance there.

Altcoin Sherpa, another pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst, noted that based on a poll conducted by him, people are still bullish on Bitcoin in the coming months. However, he believes Bitcoin has not yet touched the bottom and there could be plenty of volatility in the short term.

$BTC: I find it highly unlikely this is the bottom; I think that we still have lots of chop to go. Play the short term volatility that these moves bring for alts and get in/get out. Expecting more crab over the next few weeks. I'm bidding low 40ks and averaging in. #Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/RnVj9qRyXW

Cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen noted that while Bitcoin is down 26% from its all-time high, it has gained over 1% in the past week, which he feels “is nice.”
