Bitcoin Poised for $75,000 Surge, Trader Predicts
Popular cryptocurrency trader Jelle anticipates that Bitcoin, the leading digital asset, could potentially reach the coveted $75,000 mark by week's end.
Bitcoin has recently rebounded from an 18% correction that saw it dip below $61,000 last week. The cryptocurrency has since retraced some of those losses, reclaiming the peak of the previous bull run.
As of this writing, Bitcoin has surpassed $71,500 on major spot exchanges, but has since retreated below $69,000. This follows a broader market decline triggered by news that Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, is facing a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The lawsuit, which remains ongoing, alleges that Coinbase failed to register its lending program as a security.
Despite the recent pullback, market analysts remain optimistic. Coinglass data indicates that approximately $239 million worth of crypto has been liquidated over the past 24 hours, with long positions accounting for the majority ($166 million).
Well-respected cryptocurrency analyst Ali identifies $70,180 to $70,600 as a key resistance level for Bitcoin. Data from IntoTheBlock shows a large concentration of 291,000 addresses that purchased Bitcoin at an average price of $70,223, indicating a potential zone of resistance.
Blockchain analytics firm Glassnode observes that Bitcoin has reached "a statistically significant level" in terms of unrealized profit held within its supply. This suggests that a large number of Bitcoin holders are currently in profit.
With only 21 days remaining until the next Bitcoin halving, some traders believe that the largest cryptocurrency could experience a significant rally leading up to this major event.
