The price of Bitcoin has been on a tear over the past seven days, returning between the $61,000 and $67,000 zone where it spent most of the second quarter. This positive run of form comes despite the FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) due to speculations about Mt. Gox’s customer repayment.
Interestingly, recent trading data have led QCP Capital, a prominent trading data, to suggest that Bitcoin might only be warming up for an even bigger price rally. According to the company’s analysts, the premier cryptocurrency looks primed for significant price growth ahead of the United States elections.
BTC Price To Reach $100,000 By Year End?
Unsurprisingly, the climb of the Bitcoin price from beneath $60,000 to as high as $67,000 in the past week has been one of the hottest topics of discussion amongst investors. Analysts at QCP Capital are amongst the latest set of experts to weigh in on the recent price action of the market leader.
According to the QCP analysts, the resilient upward movement of the BTC price reflects how the market may have “shaken off” most of its concerns. As a result, the flagship cryptocurrency may be preparing to continue its bull run, having spent the better parts of the last quarter in consolidation.
The QCP analysts pointed out in the report that the perpetual funding rate is back to a neutral position, signaling a balanced sentiment amongst traders. For context, the funding rate refers to a periodic payment exchanged between buyers and sellers in perpetual futures contracts.
What’s more, QCP capital noted that the Bitcoin spot market could persist within the $61,000 – $67,000 range in the short term, especially with traders holding substantial long positions at the July 26 $67,000 strike. Ultimately, investors appear to be betting big on a price upswing ahead of the United States elections.
Additionally, there has been steady and significant institutional interest in December $100,000 calls. This suggests an increasing confidence in the potential of a year-end rally for Bitcoin, especially with the rising odds of a Donald Trump victory in the upcoming elections.
It is worth mentioning that the price of Bitcoin spiked following the assassination attempt on the former United States president. This price movement was linked to the increased odds of a win for Donald Trump, who has been a vocal supporter of the premier cryptocurrency in recent months.

Opeyemi Sule
Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.
Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.
When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.
Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.
Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.
Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.
Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
