Analysts disagree on what’s next for Bitcoin price. Some think that the cryptocurrency will peak in the medium term as the market is extremely overbought. A trader referring to the diagram below stated recently:
“For me, the early warning signs are that the duration of every consolidation is getting shorter and the rallies themselves getting shorter. I wouldn’t be surprised if a 30% correction towards 19-20k could be seen at some point in the next 4-5 weeks. “

Bitcoin could continue to gain, however, as institutional money flows into this space. There is a growing contingent of analysts who are reluctant to focus only on the technical trends of the leading cryptocurrency, as it is clear that the dynamics of demand for Bitcoin have changed from previous market cycles.
