Where is Bitcoin going Next?

Market analysis by crypto analysts and experts at CoinCodeCap predicted this market move on January 17. Here’s the analysis they sent in our public channel.

Currently, Bitcoin is facing high resistance and here the market will do a small upward move to liquidate all short positions and also will do a breakout trap. Then we will see a wave down as mentioned in the chart. After that, an impulsive move will come up to $50K level to do a bull trap and then again 1 more leg down below $30K as mentioned in the chart. So this is the highest possible next move of the market.

The crypto industry has been facing administrative pushbacks as doubts towards the rapid development of digital assets grow across the globe. The exchanges in the industry have been set to be the focal point of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s crackdown on digital assets in 2022. Bloomberg has reported that Russia’s central bank may propose a ban on Bitcoin mining and crypto trading activity. Reserve Bank of India has proposed a complete ban on digital currencies, and the State Bank of Pakistan and the Federal Government are also planning to do the same.
