Hello
According to my research, the price is likely to drop to 14,000 to 15,000 in the most optimistic case.
And in the most pessimistic case between 11 and 12
Most likely, 2 months will be in the range of 16-18 and then the lamb will be in the range of 22-24
But a big climb for the year 21000 is on the way
I've been getting beat up thinking more or less the same, myself, on what is going on.
With the mt.gox releasing $2.6 Billion in Bitcoin for settlement to the rightful parties or about 140,000 Bitcoin...I was more concerned on a dump.
A bit less now, in that the mt.gox settlement will have a couple more 'hoops' to jump through and may just dribble this out in stages
https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/mt-gox-may-release-150-000-bitcoin-into-the-market-drastically-increasing-the-downward-pressure-202012081328The concern for me was a 'super-size' dump because I myself suspect that the supposed Trump Administration proposed clarity of regulations just like
supposedly before Biden Inauguration actually will require you to give information and perhaps amounts on your privately held wallets to use a USA
exchange.
It looks likely, both actions NOW will not happen at the same time, but my guess that if such did happen we'd be looking at $12k Bitcoin again.
But it is a question, you'd have to say that 'most' HODL'ers back in the year of 2014 were 'early adopters' so if they are still in the game as a
majority of mt.gox settlement recipients....simply look at this settlement and HODL? There is supposedly no taxes on settlements of this type
in the USA..there would be cap gains if they sold it though. So if most of the mt.gox folk are really old time HODL'ers from back in the day..this
could be a non-issue. Also if the Biden Administration was to promptly put a 'hold' on the dubious clarity regulations proposed as a fast track
slam in place...along with the other dubious last minute regulations the Trump Administration is putting out as a last gasp, this whole dubious
exchange regulation could be considered not a big deal also.
Anyway, a bit more optimistic, but we could be looking at muddied waters on both of these things well into March of 2021..which means we could
be in for at best low BTC prices in the $12K TO $14K range or ..if all of the above is not a big deal another ATH after the Biden Administration is sworn
in after January 20th, 2021. Flip a coin. I myself have a plan on getting as much $12k BTC dust as possible if we have an extended flat or low
BTC price above. Dubious regulations can't depress price forever...too much push-back IMHO by big boys of Crypto ....and the mt.gox stuff will
eventually either stay mostly in HODL mode or get gobbled up.
So maybe cheap coin or ATH ...either works as a 3 month cycle for me
