Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Downturn Will End Soon

Bitcoin is currently in a bear market, meaning its price has dropped by more than 20% from its all-time high. However, analyst Timothy Peterson believes this downturn will be short-lived, lasting only about 90 days. He compared it to past Bitcoin bear markets and found that only four have been worse in terms of duration.
Peterson predicts Bitcoin will not fall much below $50,000 and is unlikely to drop below $80,000. He expects a short-term decline within the next 30 days, followed by a price rally of 20-40% after April 15. This rally could attract more investors and push Bitcoin higher.
The decline in Bitcoin's price is linked to fears of a prolonged trade war, which has made investors hesitant about risky assets like cryptocurrencies. Data also shows that fewer new investors are entering the market, limiting potential price surges. Some experts believe trade tensions will ease by April 2025, potentially improving market conditions.
Despite these challenges, Bitcoin's long-term adoption trends remain strong, suggesting it could recover once market conditions stabilize.
