In recent weeks, Bitcoin is marching forward towards redeeming its lost market recognition and value. For Bitcoin, the year 2021, was quite successful given the fact that single crypto drove the value of the entire crypto market to new highs.

Investor speculation about Ethereum taking Bitcoin grew, making investors and business leaders quite worried about their investments. BTC’s price continued to fall in early 2022. Investors turned to assets that performed well in a time of a slowing economy, higher inflation, and rising interest rates, further causing a dive in the Bitcoin price.

Over the past week, Bitcoin has been regaining its value. Analysts believe that the crypto will eventually reach the US$100,000 mark by the end of the year. But as of April 4, 2022, its price has recovered considerably. It finally crossed the US$47,000 mark, reaching as close as possible to US$48,000.
