The Bollinger Bands were quite close to each other which suggested that there weren’t going to be any major fluctuations in the price of BTC. The MACD indicator underwent a bearish crossover in the last week of Feb and retained this trend. This bearish pattern further suggested that the chances of BTC moving over $50K was bleak.
Additionally, the Relative Strength Index indicator entered a neutral predilection in the BTC market.
This downfall did not stop Bitcoin from garnering support. Several members of the BTC community believed that the king coin was consolidating before its big break. Prominent cryptocurrency exchange Kraken’s CEO Jesse Powell, in his latest interview, predicted that BTC could hit $10 million. He said,
“We can only speculate, but when you measure it in terms of dollars, you have to think it’s going to infinity. The true believers will tell you that it’s going all the way to the moon, to Mars and eventually, will be the world’s currency. Personally, I think $10 billion is a low valuation. I wouldn’t be interested in selling shares at that price.”
Furthermore, he added that people buying BTC should be committed to hold the asset for about five years to get profits.
