⚡️Bitcoin reserves on exchanges have dropped to their lowest level since 2018, as investors increasingly withdraw BTC for long-term storage, creating a supply shortage.
This could drive the price upward, especially amidst economic uncertainty, where Bitcoin is viewed as a store of value.
On October 15, Bitcoin surged to a new high of $67,950, its highest since the end of July, before dropping back to around $65,600. Despite the correction, analysts like Vladislav Antonov from BitRiver believe buyers still have room to push the price up to $68,800. Breaking this resistance could trigger a rally towards $90,000.
In the last 3 hours, crypto exchanges saw $102 million in liquidations, with $39 million in Bitcoin and $27 million in Ethereum. Ethereum also experienced a brief spike to $2,670 before falling back to $2,620.
Total crypto market capitalization has grown by 0.8%, reaching $2.42 trillion.
Bitwise Outlines Three Conditions for Bitcoin to Reach $80K in 2024
Investment company Bitwise highlighted three key conditions for Bitcoin to hit $80,000 in 2024. According to Matt Hougan, Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer, while Bitcoin is expected to reach this level by 2025, achieving it sooner depends on these factors:
1. A win by Republican candidate Donald Trump in the U.S. elections or a shift in crypto policy by Democrats. 2. The Federal Reserve lowering interest rates by 50 basis points and additional economic stimulus from China. 3. No major negative shocks in the crypto industry, such as hacks or legal battles.
Additionally, the support of altcoins could push Bitcoin even higher, potentially reaching $100K within months. Despite recent dips, Bitcoin remains one of the top-performing assets in 2024, up 44% since January.
In a new HBO documentary set to air next Wednesday, it is claimed that the true identity of the creator of BTC, who has been hiding under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, has been revealed.
