What will the summer bring for Bitcoin? Boredom, joy or sadness

Last Updated on 12 May 2024 by CryptoTips.eu

Bitcoin is caught in a fairly wide trading range ever since reaching a new record ($74,000) in mid-March. The limits of that trading range are about 25 percent below that top ($57,000) and the $70,000 level (which we haven’t reached for several weeks).

What’s next? I believe there are three options.

Boredom

A continuation of this directionless phase is possible. You’ve probably already forgotten about it, but between April and September 2023 we traded between 25 and 30,000 for some five months, that is until Blackrock announced they wanted to start a Bitcoin ETF and after that it was all over and we slowly started rising.

I also wrote about ‘boring Bitcoin’ back in 2020. In other words, this is certainly not the first time.

Sadness

According to the well-known Dutch analyst Michaël van de Poppe, this consolidation is the last accumulation phase before we go higher again. He also believes we can go lower first to hit a bottom of $54,000.

Of course, every analyst speaks according to the position of his own portfolio, so I assume that such a direction would be good for him.

Joy

Finally, there is still positivism in the markets. Bitcoin has had a fantastic year so far and there are many reasons to believe we haven’t seen the top yet.

Several major banks are predicting a Bitcoin price of more than $100,000 before the year is over, which means at least 60% higher from this point. All are still very bullish.

Lastly, you should also keep in mind that Bitcoin, due to the billions of dollars that Wall Street has pumped into it since the beginning of this year, moves much more in tandem with economic data (such as the American inflation figures) or geopolitical circumstances (such as the wars between Hamas and Israel, but also between Ukraine and Russia).

Happy trading.
