Founder and CEO of research company 10x Research Marcus Thielen believes that the Bitcoin rate will still fall to the $50,000 mark, although a short-term increase in the value of the first cryptocurrency to $60,000 is possible.

10x Research CEO Markus Thielen said the $55,000-$56,000 range is forming a new base from a technical analysis perspective and there is a short-term bullish rally in the market.

“We expect Bitcoin to rally to nearly $60,000 before falling back to the $50,000 low, creating a challenging trading environment for traders and investors,” Thielen said.

He drew attention to the fact that seasonal trends do not contribute to the growth of the value of the first cryptocurrency, and now there are no strong factors that would change the situation in the short term.

Earlier, Thielen said that the cryptocurrency and stock market is on the verge of a significant price correction, and among the main factors for the development of a negative scenario, he named high inflation and rising yields on US Treasury bonds.
