Lavrov warned that if the price of the cryptocurrency in the near future can again exceed the $ 30 thousand mark, this will signal the possible start of a new wave of growth in quotations.
The $ 30 thousand mark is psychological, the fact that the bitcoin rate has broken through this level can provoke a panic sale by private investors, warned Nikita Zuborev, senior analyst at BestChange.ru.

Sergey Zhdanov, CEO of the EXMO crypto exchange, also warned about a possible drop in the bitcoin rate to the level of $ 25 thousand.
According to him, this can happen if the price does not rebound above $ 32 thousand from the current levels.
Zhdanov called a movement even lower, as there should be large buy orders at the $ 25 thousand mark.
According to him, such an ambitious deal suggests that the company regards the current price as low enough and expects to make a profit.
