Analysts believe that Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets could eventually start moving up once again in the future. The sentiment changed this year from negative to positive but after the New York Blockchain Week, it seems that investors are more cautious after a large price increase in Bitcoin during the last month.
If Bitcoin moves up once again, so other altcoins would clearly follow the same trend. That means that both Ethereum and XRP are expected to keep expanding in the market.
Magic Poop Cannon, an anonymous crypto trader, and analyst said that Bitcoin might not yet be in a bull market. This trader predicted Bitcoin to drop from $6,000 to $3,000 before this happened at the end of 2018. He explained that Bitcoin’s current rally doesn’t make sense and that the market is behaving irrationally.
