What’s new? According to a Deutsche Bank survey, consumers are divided on the sustainability of bitcoin, with about a third expecting the value of the first cryptocurrency to fall below $20 000 by the end of the year. That would return the asset to levels last seen during the bear market of 2022. Only 10% of the 3600 respondents said BTC would rise above $75 000 by the end of the year.

What else is known? About 40% of respondents expressed confidence that bitcoin will thrive over the next few years, along with 38% expecting it to disappear.

Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $73 798 on March 14 but has since corrected by 4% to trade at $70 891. The rise came after the launch of asset-based spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. Total inflows into ten such funds have reached $12,39 billion since trading began on January 11.

Earlier, analyst Kevin Svenson, based on the RSI indicator, suggested that BTC will set a new record on April 20. It is on that day that the network is expected to halve the issuance of the asset, cutting the reward for a mined block.
