Likely range for the next month:
Base case, about $2,400–$2,800: One analysis calls for consolidation between $2,500 and $2,800. That's the most common scenario. (cryptotimes)
Bearish case: A sustained break below the channel could put $2,400–$2,450 back in focus. (cryptotimes)
Bullish case: A recovery toward $3,000 would need ETF inflows to return. That's possible but not the base case.
The automated forecasts you'll find online disagree widely. One predicts a fall to about $2,340 by late October, while another projects an average near $2,950. That spread shows how little these models can be trusted.
