Bitcoin has picked up its bullish momentum in the last 24 hours. High levels of Institutional adoption, fundamentals, and on-chain indicators look bullish and point to an extension of the rally, at least, in the long term.

In a recent report, Senior Commodity Strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence, Mike McGlone, states that Bitcoin is in a “transition phase.” As a result, the benchmark cryptocurrency could move from being a “risk asset” to become a global reserve asset.

Comparing the “rhythm” of Bitcoin’s 2017 bull market to the current one, McGlone estimates that Bitcoin’s price could peak at about $400,000 by the end of the year. In the chart below, he notes a correlation between surges in the cryptocurrency’s price and a rise in its Liquidity Index.

In late 2020 and early 2021, it can be seen how the latter metric has seen two significant growths. Recent Bitcoin price action and the approval of several Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) in Canada have had an impact on Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). This product has been one of the most favored for institutional adoption.

However, its premium has trended lower in recent days. On the relationship between BTC’s price and the drop in GBTC’s premium, McGlone concludes:

Bullish underpinnings for GBTC are gaining legs, as it outpaced Tesla by almost 50% this year. The increasing probability for Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. is supporting the price…but contributing to the GBTC discount.

Where is Bitcoin price heading in the short term?

In the short term, the sideways trend Bitcoin price has seen recently could change and shift in the bulls’ favor. A “massive” amount of GBTC shares will be “unlocked” in the immediate future. The benchmark cryptocurrency could benefit, as analyst Ben Lily stated:

Which is creating a lot of uncertainty to its future. What I’d like to remind readers is each time a wave of large unlockings hit, not only does bitcoin’s spot price rise, but the share price of the Trust gains in value with respect to its underlying holdings (NAV). If we ignore the fact it’s at a discount then the likelihood of this measure to rise based on history is batting one-thousand-perfect.

Bitcoin’s Stock to Flow model creator, Plan B, has published estimates that coincide with Bloomberg’s analyst’s forecasts. In his latest chart based on the referenced controversial model, Bitcoin’s price could approach $500,000 by the end of 2021.

Bitcoin is trading at $53,657 with gains of 3.4% on the last day. Although the monthly chart shows gains of 10.1%, the weekly chart is in the red with losses of 7.5%. The market capitalization stands at $1.01 trillion.

Reynaldo Marquez

A literature major, Reynaldo Márquez has been deeply immersed in the crypto industry since 2017. His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide.
In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride.
He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times.
In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer.’ The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience.’
But that’s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term.
In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry.
Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.
