Cryptocurrency analyst Kevin Svenson is expressing renewed optimism about Bitcoin’s (BTC) prospects, predicting a potential surge in the near future.
Svenson noted that Bitcoin is currently trading over 20% below its all-time high from March, but he believes the cryptocurrency could soon reach new record levels.
Svenson emphasized that the current market correction is a typical part of Bitcoin’s cyclical behavior. He pointed out that such declines have occurred in previous bull runs, citing the 40% drops seen in 2017 as a historical precedent. According to Svenson, the market’s reaction to these dips often involves heightened concern, especially among those heavily invested in the crypto space.
The analyst also highlighted a technical pattern known as a descending broadening wedge, which he views as a bullish signal. This pattern, observed on Bitcoin’s daily chart, suggests that if the trend continues as predicted, Bitcoin could experience a significant upward movement. Svenson projected that Bitcoin might rise by up to 63% from its current level, potentially reaching between $89,000 and $92,000.
Svenson explained that the target range is derived from the pattern’s measurements: one method involves calculating from the highest to the lowest point of the wedge, while another uses the widest point of the pattern. Both methods converge on a target between $89,000 and $92,000, providing a bullish outlook for Bitcoin’s near-term future.
Despite a rocky year for global markets, Presto’s head of research, Peter Chung, remains unfazed about Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
Bitcoin started the week strong, climbing past $94,000 and nearing the $95,000 mark, just as the market braces for important U.S. economic data.
Bitcoin’s price might be soaring, but public curiosity isn’t keeping up. According to Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley, despite Bitcoin reaching around $90,000, interest in the cryptocurrency — as measured by Google search trends — has stayed surprisingly low.
Bitcoin miner activity has hit a notable low point, according to the latest analysis from crypto research firm Alphractal.
