Bitcoin price is currently making consolidation in a short-term bullish flag pattern with support above $7,300. The trend at the time of press is bearish, besides it is trading at $7,337 although it commenced  the trading session on Thursday 19 at 7377.70. The weak support at $7,400 failed to hold during the trading yesterday resulting lower corrections.

In the meantime, while on CNBC’s Squawk Box segment, the CEO and billionaire co-founder of Avenue Capital Group, Marc Lasry said that he sees Bitcoin trading at $40,000 in a few years to come. He also noted that this will happen as trading of digital assets gets easier:

“You are hoping that as it gets more into the mainstream and as more markets allow it to trade where it’s freely tradable, to me, that’s more the market bet. I think then you will start seeing the price of it as it’s easier for people to buy. I think then you will have something that will end up being somewhere around $20,000-$40,000.”
