Q3 2022 closed in the red zone. 2022 was the first year with 3 consecutive red quarters:
At the same time, in the entire history of the bitcoin market, there has not been a year in which all quarters were in the red zone. Thus, it is highly likely that the 4th quarter of 2022 will close in the green zone. At the moment, the price is consolidating and approaching a global downtrend, which can break through, marking the beginning of a global market reversal and subsequent recovery and accumulation.
Although this does not mean that there will be a mega-pump at the end of the year, which will give us again prices of 50-60k for 1 bitcoin. But there are some chances to close the annual candle in the region of 30-35k. I also do not rule out such a scenario that before breaking above the downtrend, Bitcoin may once again test 17600 or go below this mark.
What are your expectations for the end of this year? In what price zone do you expect this year to close?
Well if the Russian vs Ukraine conflict ends shortly. There will be a huge rally across the board in stocks and in crypto. Along with a drop in inflation.
If the conflict does not end inflation will not be stopped for a minimum of 2-3 years.
Which means huge bond prices such as the US savings bond the I bond in particular is at 9.62% for at least six months once you buy it.
So it is perfectly pegged to the dollar why on earth invest in a pos coin or even btc when you are certain to get 9.62% for the next six months.
since 330 million people can buy it and with proper management they can buy up to 15000 worth a year that means as much as 330 mill x 15000 usd = 4.95trillion is available year after year after year.
even if only 500 billion is purchased it sucks the money away from crypto especially pos crypto which is essentially no more than a bond.
So all depends on the speed of that conflict ending.
My guess is the conflict continues one and on and on. Usually conflicts like this do exactly that.
So bitcoin will drift down and or sideways in quarter 4 of 2022 and quarter 1,2,3,4 of 2023 and Quarters 1,2,3 of 2024. But the 2024 election will alter it. That is worst case .
Best case we wake up tommorrow and the Russian conflict with Ukraine has ended.
