Billionaire: Bitcoin Unlikely to Drop to $5k, But Drop to $8.5k Would Spark Nervousness

2019-8-2 01:00

Bitcoin (BTC) and the aggregated crypto markets have been facing a bout of significantly choppy trading as of late, which has left many analysts and traders alike scratching their heads as to where the markets could go next.

Although there has been a significant amount of talk surrounding BTC dropping to the upper-$8,000 region, one billionaire investor recently explained that he believes that it is unlikely that the crypto drops back towards its 2018 lows, but also noted that a drop to $8,500 would make him “nervous.”

Bitcoin Forms Tight Trading Range as Choppiness Abounds 

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down marginally at its current price of just above $10,000.

Bitcoin’s bulls and bears have been locked in a tight battle as of late, with buyers attempting to stabilize the cryptocurrency’s price above $10,000, while sellers have been trying to keep its price below this level.

This battle has resulted in the formation of a choppy trading range between roughly $9,900 and $10,100, which support at the former level and resistance at the latter level.

Although it currently remains unclear as to which direction BTC is heading next, which of the aforementioned levels are broken above or below first will likely elucidate which direction the markets are heading next.

In the near-term, it is probable that the range will persist, and may lead to greater division between investors and analysts as to where the markets are heading next.

Billionaire Claims Drop to $5,000 is Highly Unlikely

Assuming the aforementioned range breaks down and bears take control, many analysts believe that Bitcoin will ultimately move towards $8,800 in the near-future.

In a recent interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box, billionaire investor and Bitcoin advocate Mike Novogratz explained that a drop to the $8k region would make him nervous, but he also added that he does not believe the crypto will drop as low as $5k.

“If it goes below $8,500, I’ll get nervous, if it goes below $6,000, I’ll get real nervous,” Novogratz explained after telling the host that he does not believe a movement to $5k is in the cards.

Will #btc ever go back to $5K? “I don’t think so. I think if it goes below $8,500 I'll get nervous. If it goes below $6,000 I'll get real nervous,” says @Novogratz pic.twitter.com/oWMdGTtZYU

It is important to note that Bitcoin does have a significant amount of buying pressure in the upper-$8,000 region, and without some sort of catalyst that sparks a massive sell-off, it is probable that BTC will find enough support here to send it bouncing higher.
