Top analysts predict that Bitcoin’s price will climb to $200,000 by 2025.
MicroStrategy recently bought an additional 11,931 Bitcoins for $786 million.
Bitcoin is trading between critical support and resistance levels.
Crypto analyst Nick, host of the Cheeky Crypto YouTube channel, explored the factors influencing Bitcoin’s current price trajectory, focusing on MicroStrategy’s recent Bitcoin acquisition and the movements of large holders, known as whales. In a new video, Nick analyzed Bitcoin’s recent price action and offered insights into what might lie ahead for the leading cryptocurrency.
Nick cited MicroStrategy’s $800 million note offering, which facilitated its recent large-scale BTC purchase, as a significant factor in Bitcoin’s price development. According to recent reports, MicroStrategy bolstered its Bitcoin holding by acquiring an additional 11,931 Bitcoins for $786 million. This increased the investment company’s BTC holdings to 226,331 bitcoins, worth $15 billion.
Historically, announcements of such massive Bitcoin accumulations have coincided with bullish trends in the cryptocurrency’s price trajectory. However, BTC continued to experience bearish pressure, with the price heading downward after a brief surge following the announcement of MicroStrategy’s recent acquisition.
Meanwhile, Nick noted that Bitcoin whales have been active, transferring significant BTC amounts to and from crypto exchanges. He highlighted how such activities often precede notable price swings, noting that massive BTC selling by whales could trigger significant price drops. However, such price drops could present buying opportunities for smaller investors.
Nick utilized several indicators to analyze Bitcoin’s current price status, showing the leading cryptocurrency is trading between significant technical support and resistance levels. He demonstrated how BTC found resistance at the 50-day moving average before falling towards the expected range between $62,924 and $64,235.
Bitcoin traded for $63,622 at the time of writing, according to data from TradingView. The current price behavior reflects potential bullish pressure that could test the lower levels of the expected range. If BTC breaks below the lower level of the expected range, it could drop lower and head toward the next support level around the $60,000 price region.
