Optimism, institutional buying demand and historical gains tied to Bitcoin's halving event are pushing the asset past its all-time high of $69,000 in March, some traders said.
The next halving is expected in mid-April, and as long as demand remains the same or increases, the number of new Bitcoins on the open market will decrease and the price will tend to rise. Historical price movements may not repeat themselves in the future, but expectations of a rebound could prompt investors to place huge bets on the asset.
Bryan Legend, CEO of Hectic Labs, said: “This expectation always leads to increased buying activity, with investors anticipating that reduced supply will push prices higher, and the pre-halving rally will contribute to a new bull market, bringing new bullishness. mood."
In addition, Bitget Research said that with 54 days until the Bitcoin halving, coupled with expectations of a mid-year interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, Bitcoin prices have support at $50,000 and may fluctuate to a record high in March. (CoinDesk)
