 BTC has not moved much over the past few days, with price ranging around the $26k level amid a lack of volatility across the market. On Monday, the benchmark cryptocurrency’s value was hovering around $26,130 on major crypto exchanges, with CoinGecko data showing a -1.8% return in the past 24 hours and 4.6% in the past seven days (as of 09:55 ET). 
 For MicroStrategy, the declines below $27k (which was the average price for the latest purchase) means the 5,445 coins have seen a depreciation in value at current prices. 
 As to what happens next for BTC, popular crypto analysts say there’s possibility fresh negativity could send the flagship crypto to support below $25k. A notable anchor below this level would be the psychological $20k zone. 
 Crypto analyst and trader Joe Burnett says a bullish flip for BTC will take it to a new all-time high. With supply “incredibly dry”, all Bitcoin needs is a “spark of demand.”

 Among other catalysts, analysts are looking at the upcoming <a rel="dofollow" title="bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">bitcoin</a> halving and the potential for a first spot Bitcoin ETF approval by the SEC. Asset investment giant BlackRock is one of the companies looking to offer access to a spot ETF.
