Bitcoin traders are increasingly optimistic about the cryptocurrency’s potential to reach $70,000 amid favorable macroeconomic conditions and political developments. With the U.S. presidential election on the horizon, the market sentiment has improved, particularly with the possibility of a crypto-friendly administration under Donald Trump. Trump’s selection of J.D. Vance, a known Bitcoin holder, as his vice-presidential candidate further bolsters this optimism.
Lucy Hu, a senior trader at Metalpha, stated that the market’s positive outlook on the short-term macroeconomic environment and the expectation of favorable policies under Trump’s potential administration are key drivers of Bitcoin’s recent bullish momentum. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around its 120-day moving average, with potential targets at $68,000 and $70,000. However, the market remains cautious, keeping an eye on Federal Reserve policies and the impact of Mt. Gox repayments.
Despite recent volatility and a drop to $53,500 in early July due to Mt. Gox-related concerns, the market has rebounded. Positive developments, such as the withdrawal of Bitcoin from a major German wallet and Trump’s crypto-friendly stance, have reignited bullish sentiment.
Nick Ruck, Chief Growth Officer at BitU Protocol, emphasized that the changing perception of digital assets in the U.S. and the expectation of favorable policies are driving the market. He also noted that the long-term selling pressure is expected to decrease as Mt. Gox continues to repay its creditors.
Data from the decentralized prediction market Polymarket shows that Trump’s chances of winning the 2024 election have increased from 60% to 69%, further boosting market sentiment. As traders and investors look forward to a potentially favorable political landscape, the focus remains on key technical indicators and market dynamics to gauge the next move in Bitcoin’s price.
