Analyst Notes: CryptoSlate lead analyst James Van Straten, in his latest tweet, expressed optimism that in the next 18 months "Bitcoin will have a GME moment". He predicts a scenario where all the ETFs, MSTR and miner stocks would have to be halted due to volatility several times throughout the day, with Bitcoin soaring.

Rekt Capital, in their latest newsletter, highlighted that Bitcoin is leaving the post-halving “Danger Zone”, at least from a price action perspective. According to the trader, it represents a three-week window after the Halving where historical downside wicks below the Re-Accumulation Range Low tend to occur, specifically and most notably in 2016, but that should not be the case anymore going forward.

Technical analyst Ali Martinez forecasts a close above $64,000 to continue Bitcoin’s upward trajectory.

What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
