The post Bitcoin Price Prediction – BTC Price Target for End of Year Will Shock You ! appeared first on Coinpedia - Fintech & Cryptocurreny News Media| Crypto Guide

On Monday, most cryptocurrencies continued to experience losses, as Bitcoin started to fall once more against the US dollar below the $20,000 support level. BTC just dropped below $19,000 and is still at risk of falling as low as $18,000.

The news of Ethereum falling below $1,300 may be more important than the decline in bitcoin. After all, many anticipated that the asset would gain from a rise in price following The Merge. However, it doesn’t seem to be the case in the near future.

By the end of the year, according to Salah-Eddine Bouhmidi, head of markets at IG Europe, the price of Bitcoin may have fallen to $13,500. The biggest cryptocurrency in the world was unable to maintain the $19,000 mark, activating the bearish goal. The bearish flag formation breakthrough is currently “taking shape.” 

The breakout from the bearish flag is taking shape and continuing to push #Bitcoin down. Now that the $19,000 level has passed, the price target at $13,500 has been activated and could be reached before the end of the year. $BTC pic.twitter.com/kMumACtbjL

The largest cryptocurrency fell to an intraday low of $18,390 earlier on this Monday and  is now  close to hitting and upgrading its June low of $17,600. The performance of Bitcoin is still influenced by the American stock market. At the market’s opening, all major stock market indices declined, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq falling 0.92%.

Bulls come under extreme pressure

Bitcoin continues to be extremely volatile to the overall macroeconomic situation, failing to serve as the portfolio diversifier it was intended to be. Bulls were expectedly put under greater pressure this week ahead of the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday (FOMC). 

The market anticipates another 75 basis point rate increase from the Fed. However, Nomura recently projected that fresh inflation data would force the central bank to make a massive 100-basis-point increase.

Economists at Nomura Securities have changed their forecast and expect a 100 basis point Fed rate increase next week (followed by 50 bps each in Nov and Dec):

"The August CPI report … suggests a series of upside inflation risks may be materializing."

In light of recent economic data, Goldman Sachs analysts recently predicted that the Fed will quicken the pace of rate increases. Now, according to experts, the central bank will raise interest rates by 50 basis points in November
