This Economic Model Predicts a $200,000+ Bitcoin Price by 2022:

(NewsBTC) Bitcoin has been on a wild ride throughout the past few days, with bulls sending the cryptocurrency rocketing up to fresh all-time highs yesterday around $19,800 before losing their strength and succumbing to bears.

From here, the cryptocurrency’s price saw a vicious decline that sent it all the way down to lows of $18,200. The buying pressure here was quite intense and sparked a nearly instant rebound.

It rallied as high as $19,400 this morning before facing an influx of selling pressure that slowed its ascent and caused it to see a slight retrace. Nevertheless, it has still been able to post what appears to be a “V-shaped” recovery from these lows.

Where it trends next will likely depend largely on whether or not buyers can firmly reclaim $19,000 and establish this price as a long-term bottom. If it remains stuck below here, it could see continued weakness in the days and weeks to come.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down just over 4% at its current price of $18,920. This marks a notable rebound from its overnight lows of $18,200 set following the recent rejection at $19,800.

From here, the crypto rallied as high as $19,400 before bulls lost their steam and the crypto’s price broke back below $19,000.

Where it trends next will likely depend fully on its continued reaction to this key level…
