Based mostly on the latest worth development of Bitcoin, analysts at Cryptowatch count on BTC to realize a number of new all-time highs by November. The researchers stated:

An alternate state of affairs
One other state of affairs for Bitcoin within the quick time period is a interval of sideways consolidation just like these seen in earlier years.
BTC sometimes stays stagnant all through September to early November and has carried out so since 2016. Based mostly on that historic sample, there’s a risk that BTC ranges between $10,000 and $14,000.
