Bitfarms Ltd. shares fell 5.11% as it crossed below the 5-day SMA, reflecting broader market concerns.
The decline in Bitfarms' stock price is attributed to the recent announcement of a 10% tariff on goods from several European nations by Trump, which has led to a significant drop in Bitcoin prices. This geopolitical tension has created uncertainty in the market, causing crypto-linked stocks, including Bitfarms, to experience declines between 6% and 8% as investors show growing risk aversion towards crypto assets.
The implications of this tariff announcement may lead to further volatility in the cryptocurrency market, impacting investor confidence and potentially resulting in capital outflows from crypto-related investments.
Analyst Views on BITF
Wall Street analysts forecast BITF stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for BITF is 5.67 USD with a low forecast of 4.00 USD and a high forecast of 7.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
