According to Reuters, Standard Chartered updated its Bitcoin price predictions for 2023, pointing to $50,000 levels.
Moreover, Standard Chartered, a banking and financial services company based in the United Kingdom, also shared a prediction for the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin for the year 2024. While Standard Chartered analysts made a forecast that BTC could reach $120,000 by the end of 2024 and suggested that the “crypto winter” is ending, Geoff Kendrick, one of the bank’s foreign analysts, emphasized that he expects a 20% increase in BTC at present.
Bitcoin (BTC) Falls Back to Critical Price Levels
Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency that picked up momentum in mid-June, has returned to a decline within the last week, even though it exceeded $31,000 levels at the end of June. Although BTC rebounded after a brief drop below $30,000 last week, it has not yet surpassed $30,500.
In addition, Bitcoin‘s recent decline has led to significant losses in many cryptocurrencies in the market. Ethereum (ETH), after its recent declines, began trading at $1,860, while the total market value of the cryptocurrency ecosystem has fallen to $1.17 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap (CMC) data.
