Opinions & Analysis
Galaxy Digital research suggests that Bitcoin's cyclical lows may be higher than previous lows, with a potential bottom between $62,000 and $53,600. The current cycle's top signal is weak, with the MVRV peak at only 2.29, lower than previous cycles. Bottom signals have not yet been fully triggered. Based on the current cost price of $53,600, the estimated bottom range is $40,000 to $46,000, with a more severe shakeout scenario resulting in $30,000 to $37,000, and a more gradual decline maintaining a range of $51,000 to $54,000.
Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick believes the crypto market has hit a cyclical bottom, with Bitcoin's low locked at $59,000 and a potential rebound to $100,000 by the end of the year, while Ethereum is expected to reach $4,000. Supporting factors for the rebound include: the recent sharp sell-off in Bitcoin spot ETFs, possibly due to investors liquidating their positions to participate in the SpaceX IPO, with selling pressure potentially ending after SpaceX's listing; and a potential US-Iran peace agreement, which would suppress oil prices and Treasury yields, easing macroeconomic pressures. Kendrick will monitor Strategy's increased holdings and ETF net inflows to confirm the bottom.
