Bitfinex analysts: Bitcoin could fall to $30,000

Experts at Bitfinex’s analytics arm of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex Alpha have warned that bitcoin could fall as low as $30,000 after its recent surges in value.

The analysts recalled that bitcoin peaked at $38,000 in its “good week” – the highest level since May 2022. Now, even at the current level of $37,000, the average purchase price for short-term holders is about $30,380.

“This means that the price could theoretically fall to the $30,000-$31,000 range,” Bitfinex experts wrote. 

The report also notes the high volatility of the market. For example, bitcoin’s recent jump to $38,000 on Nov. 9 was accompanied by significant liquidations of $491 million.

“We believe it would be prudent to exercise caution in the current environment,” Bitfinex added.

However, other experts are more optimistic. Amid news of a bullish rally in the bitcoin market, former CEO of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX Arthur Hayes has made his own prediction – he believes bitcoin will rise to $1 million.

Analysts at Matrixport have predicted the first cryptocurrency to rise to $45,000 in 2023
