Below $27 000. It did happen. In the last week alone there have been many negative events in the market. The main ones were the collapse of Terra (LUNA) and the UST stablecoin, the key rate hike by the Fed, and the release of updated inflation growth data in the United States. All of these factors contributed to pushing the bitcoin price back to the late 2020 level.

As the market is primarily driven by emotions, recovery is unlikely in the coming months. It will take some more time to find the bottom of the current decline, which could be well below the current rate. A strong pain point for many investors, including Microstrategy, the largest holder of BTC among public companies, is around $20-21 000.

Bitcoin is back above $30 000. After the decline to $26 7000, there was a very expected rebound. However, at this point, it is unclear if this is a normal corrective rebound and the coin will continue its downward movement or if it is the beginning of a reversal. Bitcoin needs to gain a foothold above $40 000 for a strong breakout from the downward movement.
