The flagship digital asset is currently trading at $45,002 with a market cap of $846.5 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.com. At the time of writing, Bitcoin prices were still above $45,000, and more analysts expect a significant rise for it in the remaining months of 2021. this could mean if BTC stabilizes potentially, it could go to $50,000; if that happens, the remainder of the market will likely be boosted as well, as we witnessed at the beginning of the year. Prominent crypto trader Tradermayne believes that maintaining the $46,000 – $44,000 level is the last line of defense before a more significant drop for Bitcoin.
