The co-founders of Glassnode, Jan Happel and Yann Allemann (Negentropic), predict that Bitcoin could soon reach new all-time highs.
They believe this potential surge is tied to the weakening US Dollar Index (DXY), which may occur due to the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts and quantitative easing (QE). The DXY, which measures the dollar’s strength against six major currencies, typically signals that a weaker dollar boosts risk assets like Bitcoin and stocks.

Bitcoin has closely tracked the DXY in recent weeks, especially after the US elections, but with the Fed’s easing policies, the analysts foresee Bitcoin breaking past its previous highs if the DXY weakens. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is priced at $89,200, down 5% from its peak of $93,500.
On the Ethereum front, despite its decline relative to Bitcoin (ETH/BTC), its market cap has shown strength. Ethereum’s market cap rose from $290 billion to over $400 billion during Bitcoin’s rally, dipping only slightly to $380 billion during the ETH/BTC pullback.
This indicates that Ethereum holders aren’t selling off, and Bitcoin’s dominance is currently outshining other market forces. Bitcoin’s dominance is at 61% as of now.

According to on-chain analyst Darkfost, Bitcoin is entering a new stage of on-chain behavior marked by two key developments: a rare third peak in the SOPR Trend Signal during a single bull cycle and a sustained outflow dominance in exchange flows.
According to the latest Santiment report, the crypto market is entering a critical phase, with a mix of bullish on-chain signals and cautionary sentiment indicators.
In a stunning on-chain event that has reignited curiosity across the crypto community, more than $8.6 billion worth of Bitcoin linked to the network’s earliest years—commonly referred to as the “Satoshi era”—was quietly moved on Friday in what analysts believe is the largest single transfer of early-mined BTC ever recorded.
The parent company behind the iconic esports brand Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP) is taking a sharp turn into the world of Bitcoin mining, signaling a significant evolution from pure entertainment to digital infrastructure.
