Bitcoin Predicted Q4 Rally
A return on Bitcoin Above 60 is interpreted as a bullish sign, and Bitcoin gained 11.18% in the last month, the most substantial increase since March. As BTC maintains a position above $65,000, Markus Thielen, the head of research at 10x Research, is predicting a likely Q4 rally triggered by fear of missing out (FOMO).
While this is happening, Charles Edwards, CEO of Capriole, sees major capital flows from gold and stocks into BTC within the upcoming six months.
Thanks to its 124% growth in the past 12 months, asset manager VanEck puts BTC at the top of the list for the year’s best performing asset. VanEck pointed out that the market’s recent volatility has troubled some investors.
