Market intelligence platform Santiment data pointed out that with Bitcoin’s retrace to as low as $55,400, a very bullish signal is within reach. Active traders’ average returns in the past year stand at 1.8%, the lowest since Bitcoin bounced above $20,000 in March 2023.
Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher admits that the current market feels like a massive opportunity. For the shorter term, he lists Mt. Gox and Germany selling. For the longer term, he points to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the 2024 election, a major political shift on crypto regulation and the $16 billion FTX payout to customers.
What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
