This seems to be in line with what other recognized analysts believe. The Crypto Dog mentioned that it might be possible to see a $1,800 Bitcoin and a $50 Ethereum (ETH) in the near future.
Bitcoin is currently in the longest bear-trend in history. The cryptocurrency dropped from $20,000 in December 2017 down to $3,250 in December 2018. That represents an 82% decrease in its price. Thus, following this trend and The Crypto Dog’s prediction, Bitcoin could fall under $3,000 and reach new lows in more than a year.
The Crypto Dog mentioned that he has been saying this several times in the past and that this is not new. He has also explained that Bitcoin has a small chance to reach $1,200. However, he is not so sure that the market can drop that far.
At the time or writing, Bitcoin is being traded around $3,411 and it has a market capitalization of $59.78 billion. In the last 24 hours, the digital currency dropped 1.56%, similar to what other cryptocurrencies did during the same period of time.
Remaining above $3,400 is very important for Bitcoin since dropping further could harm significantly the most popular digital asset.
