Crypto Experts Predict a New High for Bitcoin in May 2023
Two well-known analysts share the bullish sentiment for the price of Bitcoin (BTC) during these times of economic uncertainty.
Alex Krüger, an economist and crypto trader, has a following of 153,500 on Twitter. He predicts that Bitcoin will hit a new high for 2023 in May. Krüger also notes that Bitcoin is performing well against faltering US regional banks.
Year highs
People too bearish
Small banks rekt
Negative correlation with banks paper is not a fluke

Kaleo predicts that BTC will cross the $40,000 mark in the near future, based on BTC’s performance against the S&P 500 Index (SPX) and a breakout from a diagonal resistance.
Looking at the BTC / SPX ratio, we still haven't even broken above the 2017 ATH.
With BTC continuing to strengthen as its proving to be a safe haven from fear in the banks, a return to the May '22 breakdown level feels pretty intuitive.

Kaleo suggests that if BTC crosses the key $30,000 level, it will likely rally to the upper HTF diagonal trendline, which would put it in the $33,000 to $34,000 range. He also notes that BTC’s value against the SPX will rise to a level last seen a year ago.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $28,890, which represents a 2.2% increase over the past 24 hours.
The optimism surrounding Bitcoin’s future performance is based on various factors, including its resilience against regional bank failures and its status as a safe haven asset.
