Bitcoin's misfortune continued until early February. This digital money market slumped unexpectedly. It was also the worst since November 2017, which at that time bitcoin had touched $ 8,561.
now, the bitcoin value alone is in the range of $ 8,900.
is it possible that the forecast of its decline in bitcoin prices is caused by the new REGULATION enforced by governments that prohibit crypto?
It's not directly a result of the government's prohibitions and all that. There has been though a couple of governments that have came out with some pretty negative regulations dealing with the crypto market. There are also big businesses such as facebook that have prohibited the use of crypto advertising on their site.
All of these reasons in my opinion have triggered a massive amount of FUD and panic within the bitcoin community.
Price could definitely continue its decline throughout February, but I think that it is much more likely the price recovers somewhat by the time the end of February comes. I just don't see bitcoin going down to sub-$8k for the month.
