Bitcoin price was stable in the past week after a spike in a day in the same week for various reasons. Bitcoin price increased the day Chinese President Xi Jinping gave a speech expressing his support for blockchain technology in China. Although the president did not mention anything about digital currencies, Bitcoin price soared following Xi’s remarks.
With the price hike, many Bitcoin gurus further predict the prices. An anonymous man predicted that on October 31, 2019, which is also the 11th anniversary of Bitcoin, the price would hit US$16,000. The prediction did not come true on that day.
Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, tweeted that Bitcoin price would be able to reach US$16,000. He said it is easy to predict the price, but it is not easy to predict when the price is going to increase. Therefore, investors are advised not to expect any price increase, but stay with the reality and base all reliable information with charts and tools that are available.
