Positive news for the bulls

As the world remains uncertain over the Russia-Ukraine war, the market has seen divergence, and there are fears of further plunge for Bitcoin as analysts predict that there may be further crash by May this year, fearing it may drop 50 per cent of its value.

Indicators show that in the last 100 days, Bitcoin hit about N18.6 million and have been abandoned as uncertainties persist over the war in Ukraine.

The price of Bitcoin also plummeted below the 50-day moving average again, stoking fear throughout the market.

Analysts predict that there is still the possibility of bouncing above the average in the next couple of days. According to them, it may yet hit the N18 million mark.

Or, alternatively, if BTC doesn’t recover in the next few days, the next level of support will be $35K, the level that the bulls defended the last time it was tested on the day of the Rissian invasion.
