Analyst Notes: "Bitcoin plunged from the $31,000 level after the WSJ reported that the SEC said spot Bitcoin ETF filings are inadequate. The regulator was commenting on BlackRock and Fidelity's filings,” wrote Edward Moya, Senior Analyst at OANDA in a note seen by Benzinga.
He adds, “Bitcoin trades around the $30,000 level, but a fresh catalyst is needed to spark bullish momentum above the $34,000 level.”
According to crypto analyst Michael Van de Poppe, Bitcoin is currently experiencing a classic weekend liquidity sweep. It is crucial for Bitcoin to maintain its price above the range of $29,800-$29,900.
“I’d prefer to see Bitcoin target $30,750 and start rallying to the range high to take liquidity above the highs,” Van de Poppe said.
Bitcoin price could potentially surge by ten times its current value, according to on-chain analyst, Willy Woo. "What would price do if these guys put 5% of assets under management AUM into BTC?” the analyst asked.
“My calculations estimate around $310,000 per coin. It would really depend on whether they deploy in a bearish or bullish phase of the market but the range would be between $128,000 – $398,000. Right now it's $310,000.”
