The largest coin lost almost 40% of value in November; the Bitcoin price currently trades around $4,200 after collapsing this year to a low of $3,500 last week.<\/p>\n<p>Although Bitcoin&#8217;s price bounced back slightly in the past few days, some analysts believe it\u2019s a &#8220;dead cat bounce&#8221;. The flagship currency hasn\u2019t found the bottom yet despite the long bearish trend, according to the Asia-Pacific Head of Trading at the foreign exchange brokerage, Oanda.<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a class=\"subtitle-link\" href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coinmarketcap.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">He predicts the Bitcoin price will fall to about $2,500 to find the floor of the selloff. According to him, the largest crypto coin\u2019s recent behavior does not indicate a bottom yet. The market environment is mostly bearish. Buyers hesitate to take positions, while sellers try to reduce losses due to panic.<\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Investors_cautious_on_Bitcoin\"><\/span>Investors cautious on Bitcoin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccn.com\/asian-chief-of-fx-trading-firm-predicts-bitcoin-price-fall-to-2500\/\">said,<\/a>\u00a0\u201c<em>What I\u2019m looking at here is the way coins have been trading over the last few months. It\u2019s indicated that the bottom is not in so, therefore, I don\u2019t think any mature investor is willing to catch this falling knife. And that tells me there is more room to go and as soon as we hit some of these key round figure inflection points like $3,500 and $2,500, the psychological impact will weigh on more inexperienced traders<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Asia-Pacific Head of Trading at Oanda remains optimistic about the outlook of<a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/quantum-blockchain-security-protecting-the-future-of-tech\/\"> blockchain technologies<\/a> but claims that uncertainty in crypto markets in the near term makes these assets unattractive to both inexperienced and experienced traders, which he believes will have a massive negative effect on the Bitcoin price.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">\u201cGiven the momentum over the past year, this price action is not positive. Despite what soothsayers say, it\u2019s not a good time to enter. We can\u2019t quantify what we\u2019re really buying at these levels. This is the issue I have with trying to understand coins at specific inflection points,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Cryptocurrency markets have always been unpredictable because of their unregulated nature and speculative price movements. The overall market environment remains gloomy. However, Bitcoin bulls are looking toward the NYSE Bitcoin futures contracts and the inflow of cash from institutional investors.<\/p>\n<p><em>Has Bitcoin found the bottom around $3,500 last week?
