Analytics Perspective on Bitcoin's Growth

Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, believes the current bull market breaks the traditional four-year cycle. He anticipates a drastic price increase due to a unique combination of supply, demand, and price shocks. Mow states:

"It looks like all spot Bitcoin ETFs will be approved on the same day.... This will hit the very limited supply of Bitcoin on exchanges and availability for purchase with a torrent of money. So it's basically a supply shock multiplied by a demand shock. And this causes a price shock."

Mow emphasizes the transformative effect of US institutional capital flowing into Bitcoin.

How About Macroeconomic View

Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision, sees Bitcoin reaching between $500,000 and $1 million by 2025. He cites two major trends – the business cycle and financial conditions – as significant influencers. Pal notes:

"These cycles can be crazy, and this one is more like the 2017 cycle than the previous one. In that cycle, central banks did not print much [...]. Central bank balance sheets are [currently] growing. We saw an increase of 20%. However, what happened with liquidity was an absolute explosion of cryptocurrencies."
BTC/USD Technical Outlook

Recent Price Movements

The BTC/USD pair had tested the 2023 high and the technical support located at the level of $44,784 and is consolidating the recent gains around the level of $45,500. The level of $44,784 and $44,572 will act as the intraday technical support as well. The intraday technical resistance is located at $45,519. The bulls are in charge of the market as the momenum remains strong and positive, however the market conditions are now extremely overbought, so a pull-back lower to cool off the market participants is welcome.

Elliott Wave Theory: The chart suggests an Elliott Wave pattern is forming, with the current price movement potentially being in the wave 3, which is typically the longest and strongest wave. If the pattern holds true, this could imply continued bullish momentum in the coming weeks.

Fibonacci Levels: A Fibonacci Projection tool is applied to weekly chart, with Bitcoin's price action respecting the Fibonacci levels well. According to the Fibonacci tool, the next projected target for wave 3 is seen at $50,450.

The next long term technical target for the bulls is set at $48,200 as the potential for a sustained long-term uptrend remains, provided the critical level of $19,572 is not decisively violated. The key long-term technical support is located at the level of $32,829 and $31,790.
