Merten is confident that the current lull is nothing new and is a normal part of the price cycle of Bitcoin’s market cap:
“I’ve seen the way Bitcoin and the market, in general, is behaving right now too many times to count. Long-term investors have crowded out short-term investors, that is, those who trade and speculate in fear of collecting bitcoins.”
An experienced trader believes that the signal for the market to come out of hibernation will be the increase in the activity of the so-called “whales”.

The head of DataDash believes that, from a macroeconomic point of view, further pressure from sellers due to geopolitical tensions will not affect the stability of Bitcoin:

Instead, the well-known cryptocurrency analyst and trader Michael van de Poppe (Michael van de Poppe) believe that against the background of geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, bitcoin and ether will fall in price to record lows. Popular cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen agrees with his prediction. He expects Bitcoin to fall further as fear and uncertainty grip the markets.
