Bitcoin recovers 5% of its value
The price of Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency in the market, has recovered 5.5% of its value in the last few hours and close to 6% in the last week, trading above $49,000 per unit at press time. For analysts, such as Samson Mow, CSO of Blockstream, the sustained selling pressure on Bitcoin from markets in China could ease next year, giving room for the cryptocurrency to recover.
Although Bitcoin was expected to exceed $100,000 per unit by the end of 2021, the estimate has now been moved to 2022. Mow considers that once the cryptocurrency exchanges, pressured by the strict regulations of China, completely close their operations and peer-to-peer services and the Chinese New Year ends, the cryptocurrency will be able to recover and surpass the value it maintained at the beginning of November, when it reached its all-time high of $69,000 per BTC. “There is uncertainty right now about trading venues and access to trading. People are selling and sitting in RMB (the Chinese yuan)”said Mow.
