Bitcoin Price Prediction – BTC Likely Headed to $150,000 Soon

Highlights:

• Bitcoin is headed higher as investors fear the US fiscal position is weakening
• Bitcoin’s fixed supply makes it attractive for investors seeking growth and inflation protection
• Macros and Bitcoin technicals hint at a possible rally to $150k or higher in the short term

Bitcoin made a new all-time high yesterday, May 21, and that momentum is not letting up. At the time of going to press, Bitcoin was trading at $110,849, up by 3.40% in the day. Trading volumes have also shot up intraday. They currently stand at $91.29 billion, up by 74.26. This indicates that investor appetite for Bitcoin is rising amid expectations that it could be headed to much higher prices. The rising risk appetite for Bitcoin is not without basis. A confluence of positive factors could see the number one cryptocurrency rally to prices above $200k in the foreseeable future.

Dollar Weakening Could Help Boost Bitcoin

One of the factors that could push Bitcoin higher is the fact that the US dollar is showing signs of weakness. This is evident in the slow demand for the US Treasury’s 20-year $16 billion bond. This is an indicator that investors do not have confidence in the US fiscal position amid rising debt.

Also, the fact that last week the US lost its AAA rating from Moody’s, adding to the ratings agencies that have downgraded the US. This fiscal weakness will likely weaken the dollar going forward and could help drive the price of safe assets such as gold and Bitcoin higher in the foreseeable future. Bitcoin is particularly in an advantageous position because of its low and fixed supply, which makes it a perfect hedge against a possible surge in inflation.

WE JUST HAD A HORRIBLE BOND AUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES FOR OUR 20-YEAR TREASURIES

Because of the lack of bidders…it caused the 20-year bond yield to surge to 5.1%.

Analysts Increasingly Bullish on Bitcoin

On top of the macroeconomic environment supporting a Bitcoin rally, analysts are increasingly bullish on Bitcoin. Analyst projections often drive sentiment, which could help drive Bitcoin FOMO, especially now that it has broken resistance and rallied to a new all-time high. According to a top trader known as Titan of Crypto, there is a good chance that Bitcoin is headed to $135,000 by 2025.

This target is also within range of another analyst known as Peter Brandt. According to Brandt, Bitcoin’s current price action is an indicator that the bull run is in. From his analysis, Bitcoin is likely headed for a top out between $125,000 and $150,000. Some analysts have even bigger projections for Bitcoin. According to chart analyst Gert Van Lagen, Bitcoin could trade anywhere $300k and $320k within the year. Most analysts expect Bitcoin to go much higher than the price at which it is currently trading. This will likely drive positive sentiment, trigger FOMO buying, and make such predictions self-fulfilling prophecies.

Technical Analysis – Bitcoin Bulls Gaining Market Control

Bitcoin bulls are now firmly in control, as is seen in Bitcoin’s market structure. From the charts, Bitcoin continues to close higher since breaching weekly resistance on Sunday. With macros favoring Bitcoin and volumes on the rise, the next target now is $120k.

However, if there is a correction due to profit taking, the key level to watch is $104,347, now a critical support level for Bitcoin. Of these two scenarios, a rally continuation is more likely as investors pile into assets that protect against inflation, amid a weakening USD. 

Recap

Investors are increasingly wary about the US fiscal position, as seen in the slow demand for 20-year bonds. However, this fear is not pushing capital into the USD as often happens. Instead, it’s going into assets such as gold and Bitcoin. This, coming at a time when Bitcoin just broke resistance, could see its price rally to $150k or higher in the short term.
