I was wondering what you guys think is the most likely instances that would cause the price of bitcoin would sink back below say the $5,000 or the $10,000 mark?
Actually, the links you've indicated in the OP already listed the far most possible way to eradicate or just break the high price of the BTC. There are no other possible options that might affect and drastically decrease the price of the Bitcoin, as it was already being popular from time to time, regardless of the situation and the global issues. But one thing is the nearest possible idea that could affect the price soon -- the government. Any government has a power to make a law that could affect not the Bitcoin per se, but its holders and investors, in which could possibly inflict a little trigger to lower the price of the BItcoin, especially if such government and its country holds a huge number of crypto enthusiasts.
