According to Glassnode founders Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, the recent weakness in the US dollar index (DXY) could signal a positive outlook for Bitcoin (BTC). They believe that DXY may have peaked, which could provide support for cryptocurrencies, including BTC. The founders had previously predicted that BTC would reach $60,000, which it has now achieved, and they speculate that BTC may continue to rally to new highs.
Weakening US Dollar Index (DXY) Signals Renewed Bull Run for Bitcoin, According to Glassnode
Amidst the recent market volatility, the declining strength of the US dollar index (DXY) has emerged as a beacon of hope for Bitcoin (BTC) investors, signaling the potential for a rejuvenated bull market.
Glassnode co-founders Jan Happel and Yann Allemann, known as Negentropic on social media, have meticulously analyzed the DXY chart, which measures the greenback's value against a basket of other major foreign currencies. Their findings suggest that DXY may have reached a peak in its expanding diagonal pattern, indicating a significant downward trend is in motion.
"Did DXY top in expanding diagonal?" Happel and Allemann questioned in a recent tweet. "We think it did – and the downside will bring a lot of tailwind to crypto and BTC."
This downward movement in DXY aligns with the long-held belief that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies tend to thrive in a weakening dollar environment. As the value of the greenback declines, investors often seek alternative assets like Bitcoin to preserve their wealth.
Moreover, the Glassnode founders believe that the recent price correction in Bitcoin, which briefly saw the cryptocurrency dip below $60,000, has paved the way for a renewed rally. They had previously predicted that BTC would touch this downward price target, which materialized on March 13th, hitting $69,000.
"BTC hit our 60K target we mentioned a month ago," Happel and Allemann wrote on Twitter on April 19th. "We mentioned then that nothing moves in a straight line and a potential correction to the 60K level by mid-April. Today, we're at around 60K. Nailed it!"
Despite the optimism, the Glassnode founders urge caution, emphasizing that any downward movement below $58,000 could potentially derail the ongoing bull market trend. However, Bitcoin's recent resilience, evident in its swift rebound from the critical $58,000 support level, has bolstered market sentiment.
As of writing, BTC is trading at $65,253, showcasing its upward momentum. Negentropic's analysis suggests that the path is clear for Bitcoin to rally to new all-time highs, riding on the tailwinds of a weakening US dollar.
