Reasons Behind Bitcoin's Price Drop
Japan is about to appoint a new Prime Minister, who supports raising interest rates.
For years, Japan’s interest rates have been extremely low, and many investors took advantage of this by borrowing money to invest in markets, especially the U.S. market.
If Japan raises its rates, it will impact global markets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Less investment will flow into the U.S. market, leading to a possible recession in 2025, which could further affect Bitcoin’s price.
October: The So-Called "Pump-tober"
Historically, October has been known for Bitcoin price pumps, and many are hopeful this will continue.
However, while past data shows October tends to end positively, price fluctuations have been common. For example:
In 2019, Bitcoin stayed low until the 24th, when a late-month pump occurred.
In 2020, October mostly saw an upward trend, with a 27.7% increase.
In 2021, Bitcoin saw a pump followed by a dump, reaching $66,000 before dropping.
In 2022, a small initial drop was followed by a pump, but prices fell again later.
What Can We Expect from October 2024?
While many expect October to bring a strong bullish trend, past data shows that the market doesn't always move up throughout the month. Here’s what we can predict:
Possible Minor Gains or Losses:
October could close slightly in the green or even end with a small dip. A huge pump like 30-40% seems unlikely given the market’s current sentiment.Market Sentiment Matters:
Historically, when market sentiment is overly bullish, the market tends to react oppositely. So, be cautious.
BTC Price Predictions for Q4 2024
October 2024: I anticipate Bitcoin reaching $79,000.
November 2024: Bitcoin is expected to climb further to $90,000.
December 2024: My prediction suggests Bitcoin will close the year at $102,000.
Long-term Bullish Outlook: Crypto analyst Doctor Profit predicts Bitcoin could reach $550,000 by 2030, though periodic 40-50% corrections are expected as it approaches key milestones like $120,000 and beyond.
Is the Bull Run Really Here?
Although we’re technically still in a bull market, it's not the explosive bull run that many retail investors expect. The massive pumps that make headlines haven’t arrived yet. Until we see a monthly candle close above previous highs, we can't confirm the bull market will continue upward without any dips.
Final Thoughts: Stay Realistic
Many people get overly optimistic during bullish times, expecting massive gains. But the crypto market is volatile, and dumps happen even during bullish periods. Stay realistic, observe the data closely, and don’t get swept away by hype.
