Analysts weigh in on Bitcoin’s precarious position, noting a slowdown in <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-on-chain-activity-nears-record-lows-amid-market-uncertainty/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">on-chain</a> activity, potentially indicating crowd fear and indecision. While the cryptocurrency struggled to maintain a recovery this week, analysts project a bullish trajectory in the post-halving cycle, forecasting Bitcoin’s <a href="https://app.santiment.net/charts/hvHRMqk-__sCl" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">price</a> to soar anywhere between $175,000 to $350,000 within the next nine months. However, cautionary tones are sounded, warning of a potential end to the current bull market by January 2025.
Despite sporadic glimmers of hope, the overarching sentiment in the cryptocurrency markets remains one of uncertainty and apprehension, with traders closely monitoring developments for signs of a sustained turnaround.
