Bitcoin Bull Run Not Over, VanEck Foresees Strong Price Surge Amid Altcoin Momentum

VanEck, a well-known asset management company, remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s price potential, forecasting substantial growth in the coming months.

In their latest analysis, the firm highlights a connection between the Altcoin Season Index and Bitcoin’s price movement. This index recently surpassed the 60 mark, which historically indicates positive price action for Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin is encountering resistance at the $100,000 level, VanEck suggests that the ongoing bull market is not yet over, and further price surges could be on the horizon.

The Altcoin Season Index measures how the top 50 altcoins perform compared to Bitcoin over a 90-day period. A reading above 60 has typically preceded significant upward momentum for Bitcoin. VanEck’s research shows that after these altcoin rallies, Bitcoin tends to see gains of 10% in the first month, 30% over three months, and 73% over six months. These trends imply Bitcoin could rise to as much as $160,000 by mid-2025.

Although the altcoin market recently experienced a pullback after a massive rally, analysts believe this correction is healthy and might have removed speculative excess, allowing for a more solid foundation for growth. Bitcoin’s demand, particularly at levels below $95,000, continues to be strong, with buyers quickly stepping in at these price points, reinforcing support for Bitcoin’s price.

Interestingly, growing bearish sentiment, as tracked by the analytics firm Santiment, is being seen as a potential sign of Bitcoin’s resilience. Despite widespread expectations of a price dip, Bitcoin has remained stable at key levels, suggesting a potential surge in the future.

At the moment, Bitcoin’s price is around $97,700, with a market cap of $1.93 trillion. Institutional interest remains high, as evidenced by significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, such as those from BlackRock and Fidelity. This continued institutional confidence is adding to the optimism about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects.
