JPMorgan: Leader expects cryptocurrency price to fall!
According to JPMorgan analysts, the halving event has already been priced in. Therefore, the analysts predict that the Bitcoin price will fall after the halving. In a report published on Wednesday, JPMorgan analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou reiterated their previous similar views. In this context, analysts said, “We do not expect an increase in BTC prices after halving as it is already priced in. In fact, we foresee a decline in the post-halving Bitcoin price for a variety of reasons.”
These reasons include the fact that Bitcoin is still in “overbought conditions”. The analysts also say that the cryptocurrency price is still well above JPMorgan’s volatility-adjusted gold price of $45,000. They also note that it remains above the projected post-halving production cost of $42,000. Analysts note that despite the revival in crypto, the stagnation in crypto venture capital financing so far this year could also pull down the BTC price after the halving.
