14-day crypto predictions: Slightly bullish on Bitcoin, now bearish on Ripple and Solana
Our crypto prediction panel remains bearish overall on six popular cryptocurrencies through the week of May 2.
After trading in a narrow range between $40,000 and $41,000, Bitcoin briefly dipped to $38.500. It quickly rebounded during the same trading session and went on to test $42,000. This move appears to show that investors bought the cryptocurrency at its weakness.
