Is BTC close to bottoming?
But analysts are mixed on whether BTC has bottomed. For instance, trader Mags sees two possibilities.
He tweeted:
“Two possibility : a) Bottom is in already ($15.5k) and we front run everyone waiting for $14k. b) We see a deep re-test & go way lower than $14k , maybe $11.5k – $12k”
Other popular analysts such as John Wick donu201t believe the bottom is in.
“I gave everyone heads up and said if this lower end of the support broke that I would short again,” he said. “I also mentioned that I did not think the lows were in. I hope you put in your orders ahead of time.”
