Crypto Breaks $2.5 Trillion As Bulls Predict A ‘Ludicrously Strong’ Bitcoin And Ethereum Price Rally - Forbes

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices have surged this week as expectations the U.S. regulator will green light a bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund (ETF) have soared.

The bitcoin price smashed through $60,000 per bitcoin, hitting highs of almost $63,000 yesterday before falling back slightly and pushing the combined cryptocurrency market to over $2.5 trillion—returning to its May peak.

As bitcoin, ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies rocket higher, crypto traders are predicting a "ludicrously strong" rally through the rest of 2021.

"Bitcoin, ethereum and the broader crypto market are likely to have a ludicrously strong Q4, and I predict we will see new all-time highs across the board by 2022," Nick Spanos, the creator of the Bitcoin Center NYC and co-founder of decentralized network Zap.org, said in emailed comments.


"There has been a steady increase in investors entering the marketplace, with the number of Kraken account sign-ups increasing consistently month-on-month since the summer," Curtis Ting, Europe, Middle East and Africa managing director at crypto exchange Kraken, said in a statement. "This has coincided with the sustained evaporation in bitcoin's at-the-market supply. As Kraken Intelligence highlighted in last month's report, the amount of bitcoin held by whales reached a record total of 11.88 million—more than half bitcoin's total supply—in mid-September. With the possibility of a bitcoin ETF galvanising the investor community, pushing more and more funds into the digital asset class, the surge above $60,000 could be the result of ever-shrinking supply struggling to match soaring demand."

"Bitcoin and ethereum are already approaching their all-time highs, and I predict bitcoin to breach the $100,000 mark as early as year-end, while ethereum is well-placed to hit $10,000-$12,000 by then," said Spanos.

"The cryptocurrency market has already demonstrated itself to be increasingly resilient to adverse market developments, such as China clamping down on crypto or Elon Musk backtracking on his pro-crypto stance. This is crucial to crypto’s long-term success, and I believe the market will become even more resilient as crypto investors get used to seeing crypto always bounce back better and stronger," said Spanos. "This will result in less panic-selling, and therefore dips and market crashes will become a much rarer occurrence.”


Simon Peters, cryptoasset analyst at multi-asset investment platform eToro, says: “After a week of building expectations and momentum, bitcoin has hit $60k again for the first time in almost six months. “Today’s spike appears to have been triggered by investors’ growing confidence that US regulators will approve the launch of an ETF based on bitcoin futures contracts – but a rise past $60,000 has been looking likely for a while now after weeks of positive net inflows into bitcoin from institutional investors, a growing migration of bitcoin from short-term holders to long-term holders, and the attendant squeeze on bitcoin supply. “The current cycle continues to mirror that of 2013, suggesting that bitcoin is still very much on an upwards trajectory, though we may see some resistance at the current level. “The prospect of a new all-time high within a matter of weeks should not distract investors from their long-term goals, and a patient approach remains the most prudent. Nevertheless, the market is clearly reacting positively as we edge ever closer to the ‘holy grail’ of a bitcoin ETF of the underlying asset.”
