BTC Price Trends and Historical Patterns
As the chances of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) being approved rise, six-figure BTC price predictions are also becoming increasingly common, particularly now that the April 2024 halving is less than 180 days away. Bitcoin's price trends often exhibit cyclical behavior, with analysts drawing parallels between the current trajectory and historical patterns. This suggests a potential bullish cycle reminiscent of 2013 to 2017.
The Impact of Halving
Bitcoin's historical bull runs tend to follow four-year cycles, often spurred by events like the halving, which reduces the rate at which new BTC is created and earned by miners. The next halving event will occur in April 2024, and traditionally, bull runs can start months before and continue until the price of Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high.
Predictions of $100,000 BTC Price
Predictions that Bitcoin's price will reach over $100,000 are becoming more commonplace now that the halving is less than 180 days away. However, there are differing opinions on how the upcoming halving will play out this time around.
Bitcoin Accumulation: Not Only Whales
Significant stakeholders are showing confidence in Bitcoin by increasing their holdings. On-chain analytics have revealed a trend reversal, with major investors trading stablecoins for more Bitcoin. This could potentially add momentum for a rally beyond $35,000. Additionally, both larger whale entities and smaller entities have been accumulating Bitcoin, which has historically preceded big rallies.
Bitcoin ETF Approval Gaining Momentum
The discussion surrounding Bitcoin ETFs in the United States has been gaining momentum. Bloomberg ETF analysts have upgraded the likelihood of a Bitcoin ETF approval to 65%. If approved, such an ETF could attract more institutional investors into the space and positively impact the cryptocurrency's price.
Crypto Market Sentiment Upswing
The cryptosphere's Fear & Greed Index, a barometer of investor sentiment, has registered a notable score of 72, hinting at prevailing "greed" in the market. This shift in market sentiment has been a precursor to price rallies in the past and could be an indicator of an upcoming bull run. Interestingly, this is the highest level of "greed" since November 2021, when Bitcoin reached its all-time high price of $69,000.
