Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is trading slightly over $33,000 after hitting its lowest level since July 2021 earlier today. Since Thursday, May 5, the cryptocurrency has lost about 18% of its value, and it has tumbled more than 50% from its top level of nearly $69,000, a high point that was set last November. Nonetheless, most longer-term Bitcoin price predictions by crypto publications and analysts remain bullish.

Bitcoin’s sharp, recent decline is being blamed largely on the retreat of stocks over the last several trading days. According to The Wall Street Journal, most of the trading in crypto is now being carried out by professional investors who see crypto as a “risk asset.” As a result, “the [crypto] market has increasingly moved in tandem with traditional markets,” The Journal stated.

On the other hand, for months, I’ve predicted that the withdrawal of stimulus by the U.S. Treasury and the Fed would cause the value of cryptocurrencies to tumble.

But conversely, many crypto publications and pundits remain very bullish on Bitcoin. With that said, let’s take a look at the latest Bitcoin price predictions.

Bitcoin Price Predictions: What’s Next for BTC?

  • DigitalCoinPrice expects Bitcoin to jump to $43,o00 in December and nearly $54,000 in June 2023.
  • Analyst Matthew Hyland, described as a technical analyst and blockchain data analyst, still thinks that Bitcoin can hit the $100,000 level this year.
  • Gov Capital predicts that Bitcoin’s value will exceed $69,000 in one year.
