Has Bitcoin Entered Bear Market After Surging To All-Time Highs? What 4 Popular Analysts Have To Say

Popular cryptocurrency analysts see Bitcoin BTC/USD rising further even as the apex cryptocurrency retreated after charting all-time highs this week.

What Happened: Kaleo, a pseudonymous technical analyst, told his more than 409,000 followers on Twitter that users may miss out on huge profits if Bitcoin’s “one last dip” at the $65,288 range frightened them.

Amsterdam-based popular cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe dismissed speculation that Bitcoin was entering a bear market. Instead, he believes that the cryptocurrency is at the beginning of a massive second run of the current bull cycle.

Justin Bennett, a cryptocurrency analyst and trader with more than 82,000 Twitter followers, noted that while Bitcoin’s Thursday closing below $64,000 might result in a “few days of pain,” the cryptocurrency could next find support in the $58,000 to $60,000 range.

Another closely-followed pseudonymous cryptocurrency trader Pentoshi told his 319,000 followers on Twitter that Bitcoin could touch the $180,000 level in the first quarter of next year.

Why It Matters: Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, hit an all-time high of $66,930.39 on Wednesday amid the momentum imparted by the launch of the first U.S. Bitcoin futures-based ETF, ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF BITO.

The cryptocurrency’s year-to-date gains stand at 115.01%.
