This is because the price of BTC has so far seen a decrease of around 2.21% at the level of $24,173 in the last 24 hours with a market capital of $463 billion, in contrast to a gain of 13% in the past seven days.
According to crypto analyst Hamza, BTC has the potential to plunge to $20,000 or more.
While il Capo of Crypto, a well-known crypto analyst who owns a Twitter account called CryptoCapo also has a similar view, mentioning that the price of the digital asset is capable of falling back to the $12,000 zone.
