Bitcoin’s current price sits at $57,800, while altcoins remain stagnant due to an unfavorable market environment. Despite slow inflation rates, Germany continues to offload BTC. With less than 5,000 BTC remaining, the primary focus is now on the MTGOX situation.
How High Can Bitcoin Go?
Arsen, a well-known crypto analyst, has identified the bull market target in his recent market review. He asserts that institutional investors and market experts, often referred to as ‘smart money,’ are accumulating Bitcoin, encouraging an upward trend. He highlights that the cyclical nature of Bitcoin, which operates on a four-year cycle, results in significant gains, drawing continued interest from seasoned investors.
For instance, Bitcoin’s first bull cycle in 2012 lasted 800 days, yielding a 90-fold price increase. The subsequent cycles in 2016 and 2020 also spanned approximately 800 days, with respective price increases of 30-fold and 12-fold.
What Are Experts Predicting?
According to Arsen, Bitcoin’s current cycle could push the price to $330,000 per coin, implying a 450% increase. However, Bitcoin’s price is still at $57,700, despite hitting a new ATH level close to $74,000 about four months ago. This 23% drop is seen as normal in a bull market and does not endanger the cycle.
The CryptoQuant report corroborates that whale investors are buying Bitcoin as its price drops.
“Whale holdings have surged by 6.3%, marking the fastest monthly rise since April 12. The increase in whale holdings signals rising demand for Bitcoin,” the report states.
Key Takeaways for Investors
