Bitcoin bulls remain in charge even in the face of increasing regulatory FUD

Image
BTC’s correction to $22,750 followed negative remarks from financial regulators, but key Bitcoin price metrics show bulls remain optimistic. Bitcoin (BTC) price broke above $25,000 on Feb. 21, accruing a 53% year-to-date gain at the time, it made sense to expect the rally to continue after U.S. retail sales data from the previous week vastly surpassed the market consensus. This fuelled investors' hope for a soft landing and the possible aversion of a recession in the U.S. economy.  The apex of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s strategy success would be increasing interest rates and scaling back its $9 trillion balance sheet reduction without significatively damaging the economy. If that miracle happens, the outcome would benefit risk assets, including stocks, commodities and Bitcoin. Unfortunately, the cryptocurrency markets took a hit after the $25,200 level was rejected and Bitcoin price plunged 10% between Feb. 21 and Feb. 24. Regulatory pressure, mainly from the U.S., partially expla

Bitcoin Investors Endured More Losses Than Profits Since 2015

Image
The cryptocurrency industry has witnessed tremendous growth over the last couple of years. Even though the world’s largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin [BTC] was started out for the average joe, institutional investors seemed to be making the most out of it. This is reflected in profits as well. A recent report by the Bank for International Settlements highlights how retail investor returns on Bitcoin took a major hit over the last 7 years. The BIS report noted that from 2015 to Dec 2022, the median retail investor lost nearly half of their initial investment. This is quite surprising considering the fact that Bitcoin witnessed several rallies during this period. The report read, “However, most global investors have probably lost money on their crypto investments. These losses could be exacerbated by the fact that larger, more sophisticated investors tended to sell their coins right before steep price declines, while smaller investors were still buying,” The study relied on down

Crypto Expert Predicts $1.8M BTC Price Boom After BTC Halving

Image
A well-known crypto analyst just revealed his long-term goal for the current Bitcoin cycle, and it’s a big one. The trader, whose real name is Filbfilb, tells his 85,000 Twitter followers that he is now aiming for $180,000 for the top cryptocurrency. The analyst says that the key event is the halving of Bitcoin, which will happen in about a year. The halving, which happens every four years, will cut the amount of new BTC coming onto the market from 6.25 Bitcoin per block to 3.125 Bitcoin per block. In the past, when the supply of Bitcoin went down, the price went up or down a lot, and the trader thinks that will happen again this time. “Bitcoin halving is due for March 2024. If history is anything to go off then you have 18 months absolute max to get your shit together before we start doing all sorts of crazy stuff above the all-time high again.” $180k; that’s the target. — filbfilb (@filbfilb) February 19, 2023 Filbfilb says that traders should
