Cryptocurrency prices experienced another decline last week, following a remarkable surge in March. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $60,000 once again, although it briefly recovered before falling once more. However, there was a glimmer of hope in the market as a well-known figure made a significant prediction about Bitcoin’s future.
The founders of Glassnode, a renowned cryptocurrency analysis platform, stated that Bitcoin could potentially reach $85,200 before summer, but only if a specific technical development occurs. On the social media platform X, Glassnode’s founding partners, using the pseudonym Negentropic, pointed out that Bitcoin might be on the verge of breaking out from a bullish flag formation.
While Bitcoin experienced a bearish weekend characterized by the liquidation of long positions, Glassnode’s founding partners believe that if BTC continues to consolidate, it has the potential to break the $65,000 resistance level and rise to $70,000.
Meanwhile, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen expressed a different view over the weekend. Cowen argued that Bitcoin is currently behaving like a distinct variation of the traditional stock market and cautioned that its rally might be short-lived as a result.
According to Cowen, BTC is moving in tandem with the Russell 2000 Index, NASDAQ, and S&P 500. He noted that these three major stock indices have risen to their 50-day simple moving averages (SMA), and he believes that Bitcoin could follow this same pattern.
In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has experienced a 1.95% decrease in value, with its price falling to $61,208. The market capitalization stands at $1.2 trillion, and the 24-hour trading volume is $25 billion.
