A cryptocurrency analyst said that Bitcoin has reclaimed the key $60,000 price level for the first time since August 30, and the growing interest of institutional players shows that this time is unique.
"This time is different," cryptocurrency analyst Rajat Soni wrote in a post on X on September 13. Soni explained that Bitcoin has been "consolidating above $50,000 for six months.
However, The last time Bitcoin's price exceeded $50,000 was in 2021, when interest in the asset came mainly from retail investors.He noted:
"It is difficult for the price of Bitcoin to stay above $50,000 because most of the buyers are retail investors, who are known for buying and selling based on emotions. ”
Soni claimed that “institutional investors are here and they are ready to buy everything retail investors want to sell.” He warned his 96,900 followers: “If you are going to sell, be prepared to pay more to get back the same amount. ”
According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin is trading at $60,596, up 4.25% since September 12.
