Analyst Notes: "The Debt Ceiling is lifted for the coming 2 years. It’s even unlimited, which means that we’re getting into the end stages of the strength of the U.S. Dollar. On the other hand, lifting the Debt Ceiling shouts for continuation on the money printer and that is bullish for BTC," said crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe.
Pseudonymous analyst DonAlt shared his thoughts on Bitcoin’s performance and potential. In his analysis, he sees a potential bullish scenario where Bitcoin overcomes multiple resistances across different timeframes and skyrockets to as high as $35,000. "I do like $27,400 again. I think if we reclaim it, it's moon time… And timeframes would start cascading into each other, which I love to see," adding that "if that goes into the monthly, the monthly resistance is at $35,000."
