A leading crypto analyst advises investors to wait for Bitcoin to drop to the low $40,000s before buying, suggesting this could be the best entry point for the upcoming market rally.
Markus Thielen from 10x Research told Cointelegraph that targeting Bitcoin’s price in the low $40,000s might set up investors for the next major bull run. Bitcoin was last seen in this price range in early February.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $57,400, up 4.25% in the past 24 hours. Analysts including Timothy Peterson and Crypto Rover predict that Bitcoin could fall to $40,000 soon. David Gokhstein also views a potential drop to $40,000 or $50,000 as an ideal buying opportunity.
Thielen expressed doubts about holding Bitcoin long-term, noting that recent market volatility and the lack of high returns compared to U.S. stocks make it a less attractive option.
He recommends setting a stop-loss around $54,000 to manage risks, especially given the recent outflows from Bitcoin ETFs and their underperformance compared to their launch price.
Despite significant investments in Bitcoin ETFs, the cryptocurrency has recently fallen below $50,000, approaching its early 2023 levels.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
