Bloomberg’s Surprising Bitcoin Price Prediction
Considering the accelerating pace at which Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching new highs for the year, Bloomberg expresses optimism that BTC could reach up to $500,000. The leading cryptocurrency recently surpassed the $42,000 level, signaling a significant milestone.
In the last 24 hours, BTC saw a 6% increase in market value. In the first four days of December, Bitcoin witnessed a price surge of up to 11%, marking the third consecutive month of increase. Overall, Bitcoin has gained an impressive 150% increase in value this year. The developments have sparked excitement within the crypto community.
Amid this excitement, financial experts have started making bold predictions about the potential future of Bitcoin (BTC) prices, some of which are based solely on intuition and uncertain technical analyses. The predictions range mostly between $50,000 and $500,000.
Matt Maley, speaking about the surge in positive speculation, stated, “It’s getting crazy again,” as the Chief Strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. He also mentioned that such comments are a clear indicator of how quickly sentiments can change for Bitcoin.
Maley argued, “One of the big reasons why Bitcoin went up so strongly in 2020 and 2021 is because of a massive flow of liquidity into the system due to the pandemic. Without another big liquidity program, some of these predictions are a pipe dream.”
Spot Bitcoin ETF: A Potential Catalyst
Moreover, the increasing pressure due to expectations of a potential spot Bitcoin ETF is believed to have significantly contributed to the recent price surge. The idea of having a product to attract traditional institutional investors to the crypto sector without exposing them to perceived risks associated with cryptocurrencies currently appears reassuring and is gaining substantial attention.
Leading investment asset management firms such as BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, WisdomTree, Valkyrie, VanEck, ARK 21Shares, and Grayscale are well-prepared for this push for a new Bitcoin ETF.
The broad crypto industry is eagerly awaiting a response from the U.S. SEC on various spot Bitcoin ETF applications. Upon approval, BTC will likely move towards achieving some of its optimistic predictions as it is expected to positively impact the balance of institutional capital.
