Investing in cryptocurrencies has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and while in the beginning, only those with extensive knowledge of the internet were aware of digital assets, a growing amount of the population is now looking to incorporate them into their investment portfolios. There are multiple reasons for this, including the coins’ ability to resist censorship, as well as the fact they can act as a hedge against inflation.
While things haven’t seemed so great for the crypto environment over the past year, with experiencing value cuts, the current outlook is considerably more positive. Binance, the largest exchange in the world, has recorded a significant climb in the Bitcoin price, which climbed by approximately 84% since the beginning of the year in one of the most considerable bull rallies in the coin’s history. However, many aspects remain uncertain, and investors are still advised to treat them carefully.
Price Climbs
After a difficult year in 2022, Bitcoin started 2023 on a more positive note as prices began to climb. However, this wasn’t to last long, as regulatory pressures started affecting the market. In this context, the fear of a possible collapse led many investors to remain wary of the long-term implications. The fact that noteworthy exchanges could be targeted made many feel that the overall marketplace was still unstable.
However, the situation changed almost immediately in the last days of June, when prices began climbing quite steeply. Now, many believe that a bullish run is imminent, especially for noteworthy currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Therefore, now would be the best time to purchase large amounts of digital assets, as their price is still relatively low compared to how it will likely become in the future.
Many researchers expect exponential increases over the upcoming months. This is easily observable by taking a look at the candles. The most recent measurements show a gradual ascension that went from $3,600 to approximately $7,000, then $12,000, culminating in a peak of $25,000. This trend is expected to continue, and monthly candles will increase.
The Values
While predictions are common in the crypto environment, it’s important to remember that they are seldom cut in stone. Typically, most of the estimates are different from each other, with some even showing opposite trends. However, now it seems like the predictions might be pointing towards the truth, as most indicate that BTC is poised for a climb all the way to the $40k milestone.
Whales
Whale investors are very important for the overall crypto ecosystem, as their huge transactions greatly impact the marketplace. Recently, on-chain monitoring has clearly outlined how these investors’ hefty capital has managed to maintain the price range for BTC. As many have distributed within the $30,000 range and started purchasing the dips, the coin has remained within its range.
However, some still believe that the upside won’t last beyond July. Historical data shows that the month has never recorded losses of more than 10%. Could 2023 be any different? Many believe Bitcoin is ready for a steady rally to $35k, especially after gains of around 12% only in July. While this has been one of Bitcoin’s best performances since 2019, others still believe that Bitcoin falling during July and breaking this historical pattern is common sense.
Many who believe this theory to be true are unsure exactly what catalyst will emerge to facilitate this. However, most believe that even if it were to occur, it wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary. Moreover, it couldn’t impact Bitcoin’s overall progress, and the upside trend will remain stable.
Miners
Miners underscored the BTC price action, although maybe not in a way that’s favorable to investors. Recent data shows miners have sent up to 3155 of their daily earnings, or $128 million, to exchanges. Many traders wonder why the prices are still not reacting, as such a massive movement should have naturally been followed by a pricing response. The figures show an all-time high and are not comparable to anything similar from the past.
Although miner revenue gained a significant spike during 2021, when Bitcoin prices were the highest they have ever been, and the capitulation inflow of 2022 of the market collapse was also advantageous for some, the current price is distinct in its range. However, there’s little to show that miners are experiencing any type of difficulties. Network difficulty is currently at 3.26%, considerably lower compared to the last month.
No Sells
Crypto hodlers are those that create long-term stocks of digital assets. These investors buy and hold on to their coins regardless of the price. The aim is to see the digital currency achieve its highest value possible, creating a strong store of value that’s fully censorship resistant. These traders are typically the ones that will remain loyal to their cryptocurrency of choice, most often Bitcoin, regardless of what happens.
This community has become the center of attention for many impressed by the hodlers commitment to not selling currencies and preferring to maintain their steady stores of value instead of raking in massive profits. For the rest of the investors, apprehension remains. A lot of traders say that their overall opinion will be impacted by whether or not Bitcoin achieves the $30,000 mark.
While the market is still recovering after the difficulties of 2022, things are certainly starting to improve. Many were certain that Bitcoin would get back on track sometime during this year, and it appears that their estimations have been correct. At the moment, Index highs are 69/100, with the price heydays of 2021 having figures that were only 10% higher.
