Bitcoin Breaks $70K Amid Memorial Day: Analysts Eye Sustainable Bull Run

Bitcoin has once again surged past the $70,000 mark, showcasing its resilience and potential as a standalone asset class. As highlighted by Santiment, a top analytic firm, this recent climb, occurring amidst Memorial Day, underscores a notable divergence from its previous tight correlation with traditional equities markets. Such independence from stock market fluctuations suggests a newfound maturity in the crypto space.

Julio Moreno, Head of Research at CryptoQuant, highlights a crucial distinction in Bitcoin’s current market behavior compared to March. He points out that despite trading at similar price levels, the selling pressure now appears significantly subdued, hinting at a more sustainable upward trend.

The current price momentum reflects a notable shift in market sentiment, with Bitcoin demonstrating an encouraging resilience against selling pressure. Unlike earlier in March, where unrealized profits peaked at a substantial 69%, the current modest 3% suggests a decreased inclination among traders to offload their holdings. This shift signifies a potential exhaustion of heavy selling, paving the way for a more stable and bullish market outlook.

Data from CryptoQuant as per analyst Lark Davis indicates a significant uptick in Bitcoin whale accumulation, indicating a strong belief in the asset’s long-term potential among large investors. This surge in accumulation signals a potential supply shock in the market, further bolstering Bitcoin’s upward trajectory.

Prominent crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto expresses optimism regarding Bitcoin’s long positions, emphasizing their strength in the current market scenario. His confidence in holding and potentially increasing long positions aligns with expectations of Bitcoin surpassing the $100,000 mark in the near future.

Trading at  $67,863.47, in terms of price action, analyst Michael van de Poppe suggests a consolidation strategy for Bitcoin, aiming to stabilize at current levels. He outlines a potential buying opportunity should Bitcoin dip below the $66,000 mark, indicating a strategic entry point for investors looking to capitalize on market fluctuations.
