Bloomberg Intelligence chief commodities strategist Mike McGlone shared his price forecast for Bitcoin on Tuesday. Despite the recent price crash in the market, the analyst still predicts a price increase for the main cryptocurrency in the coming months. Despite the fall, Bitcoin could reach $ 100,000.
Bitcoin is going through a severe price correction after falling close to 50% from its all-time high last week. The downtrend began on May 12, when Elon Musk suspended Bitcoin payments for Tesla vehicles due to environmental concerns.
Then a series of measures reiterating China’s Bitcoin trading and mining bans accentuated the decline. Announcements from the US government regarding regulation of the crypto sector have also contributed to the drop. The crash wasn’t just for the top cryptocurrency, as most digital assets posted double-digit percentage losses.
Despite this scenario, McGlone remains bullish on an upcoming bull run for Bitcoin. At the end of March the Bloomberg analyst had already shared a graph that predicted a rise of the coin above $ 300,000 by the end of 2021.
Recent events do not affect increase to USD 100,000
McGlone took to Twitter on Tuesday to share his thoughts on whether Bitcoin’s massive correction will delay the flagship cryptocurrency reaching $ 100,000. The analyst observed that the price pullback was caused by the same reasons that support the bull market for Bitcoin on its way to that price level.
Bitcoin has pulled back for reasons that support a prolonged bull market and a path to $ 100,000.

The Bloomberg strategist had already made a $ 100,000 prediction for Bitcoin in October of last year. At the time he had shared in a tweet. Noting that the growth in the adoption of the cryptocurrency added to its scarce offer, would boost the value of the asset, although he warned that this rise would slow down over time.
Bitcoin shows signs of recovery after recent crash
Despite the Bitcoin crash, Bitcoin’s hash rate has been fluctuating in recent weeks after the price of the major cryptocurrency fell close to 50% from its all-time high. After some price recovery, the Bitcoin hashrate also appears to start to recover slightly this Tuesday.
Although uncertainty continues around the commercial evolution of Bitcoin, analysts maintain that in this period there are several companies that are taking advantage and beginning to take the step towards this market. As is the case with Globant, which recently invested half a million dollars to start creating its BTC fund.
Many critics claim that this is nothing compared to the capital movements made by other companies. For analysts, these types of measures have a more symbolic weight, since they imply adoption at the business level.
For his part, after the fall derived from the announcements made by Tesla several days ago, the CEO of said company, Elon Musk, proceeded to meet with US Bitcoin miners to promote the use of renewable energy within this industry. This meeting was facilitated by the CEO of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor. Who assured that the intention of this meeting is the creation of a BTC Mining Council that seeks to improve the conditions of this practice for the future.
