#BTC60K👑👑 Bitcoin has regained the $60,000 mark for the first time in 14 days, during a month generally considered bearish for the cryptocurrency.
$BTC Bitcoin has reclaimed the crucial $60,000 price level for the first time since Aug. 30, and the increasing interest from institutional participants signals this time around is unique, according to a crypto analyst.
“This time is different,” crypto analyst Rajat Soni wrote in a Sept. 13 X post. Soni explained that Bitcoin
BTC = $59,961
$BTC has been “consolidating above” $50,000 for over six months.
However, the last time it was above $50,000 was in 2021, when interest in the asset was mainly from retail investors. He noted:
“The price struggled to maintain $50K+ because most of the buying was from retail investors who are notorious for buying and selling based on emotions.”
Soni claimed that “Institutional investors are here, and they’re ready to buy everything retail investors want to sell.” He warned his 96,900 followers that “If you’re selling, be ready to pay significantly more to get the same amount back.”
