Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, AVAX & Chainlink – American Wrap 17 May

Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens might end up driving Bitcoin price to $20,000

Bitcoin Ordinals, which enabled the possibility of creating NFTs on the world’s biggest cryptocurrency network, is starting to weigh on the network. The increasing cost of transactions is a rising concern, which could inadvertently trigger a further decline in Bitcoin price.

AVAX price should tank further as Avalanche price action heads toward $13

Avalanche (AVAX) price is continuing its decline at a slow grind as a bearish triangle has been formed on the charts – a recognizable pattern. Pressure is building again with investors on edge as plenty of tail risks exist. Expect to see a sharp leg lower once the floor in the triangle breaks at $14.56, and we could see AVAX trading near $13 very quickly.
