Bitcoin's Potential Path to $50,000, According to Chart Analysts
Bitcoin has recently broken through the $40,000 level and is showing signs of potential growth towards $50,000. After being stuck near $30,000 for much of 2023, bitcoin has been moving persistently and reaching new highs more frequently. Analysts highlight the next level of resistance to watch at around $48,000. Rob Ginsberg, a chart analyst at Wolfe Research, notes that bitcoin seems to surpass each identified resistance level and believes that $48,000 will offer little resistance. Other analysts, such as Julius de Kempenaer from StockCharts.com and Will Tamplin from Fairlead Strategies, also identify similar levels as the next targets.
New Support Level and Factors Driving Bitcoin's Climb
On the downside, analysts are looking at a new support level of approximately $38,000. The recent climb in the price of bitcoin is largely attributed to optimism surrounding a potential bitcoin ETF. ETF issuers like BlackRock and Grayscale meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission and implementing agency feedback into updated filings have fueled hype and expectations for the maturation and institutionalization of the crypto asset class.
Momentum and Bitcoin's Performance Relative to Stocks
Chart analysts note that there is a significant level of momentum driving bitcoin's recent moves. Rob Ginsberg points out that bitcoin is reaching 20-month highs relative to top stocks in the market. He expects this ratio to continue pushing higher as other stocks cool off while cryptocurrencies remain hot. Ginsberg refers to the "fear of missing out" (FOMO) as one of the factors contributing to bitcoin's momentum.
Analysts will closely monitor the rally's sustainability and how much steam it has left. The performance of bitcoin in relation to the so-called Magnificent 7 stocks, which include Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon.com, will be a key factor to watch. For now, it appears that the rally has plenty of momentum behind it.
