Stephen Innes, head of Singapore-based capital market trading, OANDA Asia Pacific, told Bloomberg that there are still "many people" on the market in its current state. However, the expert suggested that if Bitcoin saw a "run for $ 3,000", the "crypto-market" will be a monster, "with people" looking for exits. "
Asserting that Bitcoin could drop to as low as $ 2,500 by January 2019, Innes expressed confidence in "other cross-asset games", notably emphasizing the gold:
"Gold prices will rise significantly higher and there is an inverse relationship that we are starting to see with gold and coins".
In conclusion, the expert predicted a broad range of prices for short-term Bitcoin, stating that the largest cryptocurrency could go from $ 3,500 to $ 6,500 in the near future.
Due to the recent collapse of the markets, the crypto industry has also seen a collapse of its cryptocurrency mining sector due to massive reductions in profits for miners. Yesterday, Cointelegraph reported that China's crypto miners were selling hardware crypto by weight rather than by unit.
On November 20, the United States' main US mining and encryption company, Giga Watt, filed for bankruptcy, stating that the company is "insolvent and unable to pay its debts when it is due", with assets between zero and $ 50,000.
