Analyst Miles Deutscher took to his latest analysis and said that Bitcoin is currently approaching all-time highs, sitting around $71,000. This week, it’s crucial to consider whether Bitcoin could break through these highs and what to expect in the coming weeks. The market is volatile, especially with the upcoming elections.
The analyst explained how new Bitcoin issuance is significantly outpaced by ETF purchases. For instance, only 490 new Bitcoins were mined yesterday, while ETFs bought 11,820. This 24x discrepancy shows a potential supply squeeze, where demand exceeds supply, often leading to price increases.
The main factors driving Bitcoin’s price movement:
Bitcoin ETF Flows
Recently, there has been an influx of capital into Bitcoin ETFs, with $900 million flowing in just yesterday and $4 billion over the last few weeks. This surge indicates strong interest from both retail investors and institutional funds.
Macro Economic Factors
With stocks, housing prices, and gold all at highs, many are turning to Bitcoin as an investment. The current low inflation rates and potential Federal Reserve rate cuts are creating a favorable environment for Bitcoin investments.
Speculative Betting on Election Outcomes
Many investors are speculating on how the upcoming elections will impact Bitcoin prices. There’s a prevalent sense of fear of missing out (FOMO), as traders prepare for potential price shifts post-election.
Key Price Levels
Bitcoin has recently broken above key resistance levels, including the $70,000 mark. A successful weekly close above this level would be bullish, but traders should monitor for any potential reversals.
Bitcoin vs. Gold
The Bitcoin-gold chart shows a potential cup and handle formation, hinting that Bitcoin could soon catch up with gold prices as a safe haven asset.
