Analyst Notes

Crypto analyst, Michael Van de Poppe said on Tuesday there is a possibility of a correction on Bitcoin that goes below $26,700. 

"The fact that we’re back towards $27,400 is actually a strong signal. Wouldn’t count too much on it, but the odds of the bottom to be in has increased substantially," Van de Poppe tweeted.

In another post he said Bitcoin holds a crucial level at $26,700-26,800 and rallies further. "This is strong and looks like we’ve got a continuation of the uptrend here. New range established, new uptrend, new altcoins breaking out."

Based on crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen’s analysis, BTC dominance continues to rise as liquidity from altcoins flows back into BTC. 

According to Crypto Tony, it is unlikely that Bitcoin will reach $20,000 in a short period of time if a dump occurs. "Will take awhile IMO, just going by classic BTC price action." 

Data from Santiment, an on-chain analytics firm, revealed that Bitcoin experienced a significant surge, reaching $27.2K. This surge can be attributed to the launch of an Adoption Fund by Nomura, Japan’s largest investment bank.
