Bitcoin Price Nears Previous High, What’s the Future Potential?
Bitcoin and a series of other cryptocurrencies have experienced quite significant strengthening since Tuesday, May 21 2024. The price of Bitcoin touched USD 71,259 or the equivalent of IDR 1.14 billion (assuming an exchange rate of IDR 16,004 per US dollar).
This figure is equivalent to 51% higher year-to-date and close to Bitcoin’s All-Time-High (ATH) in the previous period, namely USD 73,000.
So what is the cause of the increase in the crypto market and what is the potential for Bitcoin price movements in the future?
Crypto Analyst Reku, Fahmi Almuttaqin, said that the increase was caused by several factors, including the adoption of institutional investors, developments in US inflation, as well as optimism regarding the approval of an Ethereum spot ETF.
Apart from that, Bitcoin itself is already on a bullish track, where its main rally historically usually starts between 1-6 months after the halving.
“Famous institutions ranging from Morgan Stanley, Millenium Management, to the pension fund management institution of one of the states in America, Wisconsin, have started purchasing Bitcoin through the spot Bitcoin ETF instrument,” said Fahmi to Liputan6.com, Wednesday (22/5/2024 ).
Fahmi added that news regarding the institutional adoption, which has been going on for the past month or two, began to become known to the public in the last week or two through report documents submitted to the SEC.
Apart from that, last week’s US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data which indicated easing inflationary pressures also provided more calm for market players. Efforts to reduce inflation are on the right track.
Rally Potential
This data also increases investor optimism regarding the possibility that inflation can fall without putting significant pressure on economic growth. “One of the most dynamic factors that is influencing market movements this time is the shifting outlook regarding the possibility of approval for the Ethereum Spot ETF.
Rally Potential Continues
Fahmi said that in the future, the crypto market has the potential to rally if a number of conditions occur. For example, if the ETH Spot ETF is approved and other data such as the United States PMI, Nvidia’s revenue shows positive numbers.
“In this condition, investors can optimize momentum by focusing on potential assets that are related to these developing catalysts,” concluded Fahmi.
Meanwhile, Fahmi suggests that for more conservative investors, including beginner investors, the DCA or dollar cost averaging strategy is still quite ideal to implement, because timing the market can be more challenging in situations that are quite dependent on the development of data that cannot be completely predictable, like the SEC’s decision regarding spot Ethereum ETFs for example.
