Bitcoin

<p>Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) seems to be facing difficulties, struggling to gain momentum. Indeed, the price of the flagship crypto is having a hard time surpassing the $27,000 mark. This situation is causing a lot of concern within the Bitcoin community. There are now many uncertainties regarding the future trajectory of the crypto’s price. However, some analysts are already predicting a bleak future for the queen of cryptos. One of them, renowned strategist Michael J. Kramer, recently expressed particularly pessimistic views on the future price of BTC.</p><div class="thumbnail post-cover-image"><img src="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/05/bitcoin-1-1-1024x683.png" srcset="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/05/bitcoin-1-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/05/bitcoin-1-1-300x200.png 300w, https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/05/bitcoin-1-1-768x512.png 768w, https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/05/bitcoin-1-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" class="post-cover-image--img" alt="A coin representing bitcoin and a graph symbolizing a decline"></div><div class="my-4"></div>

<p>While Bitcoin is seen as <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/bitcoin-btc-le-remede-a-la-crise-bancaire-de-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a remedy for the 2023 banking crisis</a>, analysts express their concerns about its future. Market guru Kramer expects the price of the flagship crypto to drop below $20,000. He made his prediction on Twitter on May 21, expressing worries about an imminent collapse of the Bitcoin market. He emphasized that a decrease in the price of BTC to $20,000 could have significant consequences for the entire stock market. After all, Bitcoin serves as a barometer for various other risk assets.</p><div class="my-4"><div class="ads ">

<p>It is worth noting that Bitcoin reflects the sentiment prevailing in the overall crypto market. Thus, if the flagship crypto were to fall below $20,000, it could mean that investors are less inclined to take risks. This situation could promote increased confidence in the stock market and other asset categories.</p>



<p>Furthermore, CoinGecko previously <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-seen-dropping-below-20k/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported that</a> Bitcoin lost 2.1% of its value in the past few days. Analysts are also seeking to understand the factors contributing to the decline in the crypto’s price. It appears that increased regulatory uncertainty plays a crucial role in the current state of the market. Similarly, the macroeconomic climate reduces the chances of observing a significant price increase in the short term.</p>



<p>Recent actions taken by the Democrats in the U.S. Congress indicate that the crypto market is not out of the woods yet. They have decided to strengthen the authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over cryptocurrencies. However, the SEC chairman is convinced that <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/toutes-les-cryptos-sont-des-titres-selon-gary-gensler-reactions-des-avocats-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">all cryptos are securities</a>. Thus, it is possible that tokens may end up being classified as securities, subjecting them to stricter regulations.</p>
