Bitcoin (BTC) has brought the entire altcoin market into a period of calm. Historically, such quiet phases are often followed by major price movements. Despite solid fundamentals, Bitcoin has struggled to break through the $69,000 to $72,000 resistance range over the past seven months.
However, several signs point to an upcoming breakout. Bitcoin’s price is positively correlated with gold, which has recently entered a price discovery phase, adding to the optimism.
Institutional Interest in Bitcoin Heats Up
MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) has seen its stock jump over 300 percent this year, even without launching a new product. This success is attracting other major companies, including BlackRock and Metaplanet, who are eyeing Bitcoin investments. Today, Microsoft, valued at $3 trillion, announced that shareholders will vote in December on whether to invest in Bitcoin, signaling increasing corporate interest.
On-chain data shows that the amount of Bitcoin on centralized exchanges has dropped to a multi-year low of around 2.39 million BTC. At the same time, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated over $60 billion worth of Bitcoin in recent months, pointing to strong institutional demand.
A Bull Run Is Coming!
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe believes Bitcoin is on the brink of an exciting phase. Based on Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, which includes the halving event, he predicts the price could reach between $300,000 and $500,000 by 2025. This bullish outlook is shared by well-known Bitcoin analyst PlanB.
Wall Street banks that have invested in Bitcoin through spot ETFs see a potential for a parabolic price rally if Donald Trump wins the upcoming presidential election. Such a result could act as a major catalyst, driving Bitcoin to new all-time highs.
