Bitcoin's Lowest Point In 2023: What A Crypto Analyst Predicted Back In December

A pseudonymous crypto analyst who predicted the end of the 2021 bull market accurately, forecasted new lows for Bitcoin BTC/USD in 2023.

What Happened: Analyst ‘Pentoshi’ told his 660,000 followers in December 2022 that the $12,000-mark will be the lowest point for Bitcoin in 2023.

However, BTC will not have any new lows until the first quarter of 2023, according to the analyst.

These would be the most obvious extremes ranges that I think we can cover in 2023 for $btc. Obviously a wide range for auch a large amount of time. But the areas stick out the most
No new lows until Q1-2 2023 Imo. Those looking for them this year unlikely to get them so quickly pic.twitter.com/8UNzVclUMU

In response to a trader asking about what could induce Bitcoin to decrease another 20% below its "FTX lows" of $15.5k, 'Pentoshi' asserted, “You don’t even need a black swan..." 

Time will tell. As a trader Id be open minded. You don’t even need a black swan imo
