Should You Buy Bitcoin While It's Under $85,000?
Bitcoin's price has fallen 25% from a recent all-time high. Is this a buying opportunity or the start of another crypto winter?
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) soared to an all-time high of $106,182 per coin in January. With the fourth Bitcoin halving firmly in the rearview mirror and a more crypto-friendly regime in the White House, the original cryptocurrency looked ready to skyrocket like it did in 2020 and 2017.
But it hasn't worked out that way. Bitcoin is down to $79,200 as of this writing on April 8. That's a hair-raising 25% price crash, well ahead of the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) stock market tracker's 19% drop.
Is this the start of a three-year crypto winter like the one you saw after the 2017 peak, or is it a temporary pullback like in the spring of 2021? Nobody knows for sure, but here's how I look at the Bitcoin situation today.
