NewsBTC has presented several different vision on the potential trajectory for BTC’s price going into 2022. While some experts expect the cryptocurrency to struggle, others believe it will manage to surpass the $100,000 threshold.
On the bullish side, Senior Commodity Strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence Mike McGlone believes BTC will come out on top of a widespread market downtrend due to a hike on interest rates. On a less optimistic note, QCP Capital expect BTC to struggle in 2022 and remain rangebound unable to achieve a new all-time high.
