Similarly, Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, noted the possibility of Bitcoin falling to $47,000.
Bitcoin could fall to $47,000
According to Ki Young Ju, Bitcoin is still in a bull market over a broader time horizon that extends into early 2025. This school of thought resonates with many other price predictions for Bitcoin, especially in the long term. Despite this bullish outlook, market participants are currently grappling with short-term bearish conditions.
As Ki Young Ju noted, this uncertainty opens up the possibility that the world’s leading digital currency could fall to a terrifying $47,000 before finding ground again. Given the cryptocurrency market’s prolonged slump since early June, this bearish scenario seems increasingly likely. Bitcoin, in particular, has lost billions in value, and investor confidence is wavering.
