This is very close, Bitcoin will easily reach this number with the beginning of the new year as expected, despite all the recent incidents that rocked the Crypto market and caused a very bearish market, but Bitcoin maintained the price level at $17,000, Bitcoin maintaining this price is a strong indication of the bullish trend Bitcoin in the coming period, especially with the beginning of the new year.
In any case, I do not rule out that during this period, Bitcoin will visit the 14-15K$ regions, this is very likely.
A few months before the FTX crash, bitcoin was also at $19k for quite a while, and people also started to believe that bitcoin bottomed and was accumulating in preparation for a bull run. But then everything fell apart when FTX suddenly collapsed, causing more damage to the market instead of increasing the price.
A few days ago, many people believed we would have a bull run in December, but I have the opposite view, and if you look at bitcoin now, bitcoin price is falling below 17k. I won't believe bitcoin can break through $20k or hit $23k until the real FTX event is over.
