Expect More Than $100,000: Ex-Trump Campaign Chief’s Bullish Bitcoin Forecast

by

As an analyst with over two decades of experience in financial markets, I find myself both intrigued and cautiously optimistic about the current state of Bitcoin (BTC). The recent rally has been nothing short of impressive, with BTC breaching the $100,000 mark for the first time. It’s reminiscent of the dot-com boom in the late 90s, where we witnessed a similar surge fueled by hype and innovation.

After an impressive surge in Bitcoin (BTC) pricing that started on November 5, there’s ongoing discussion about whether it might continue to climb, despite a brief dip under the $100,000 threshold.

Noteworthy is that Paul Manafort, who previously served as campaign chair for President-elect Donald Trump, has shown positivity towards Bitcoin’s future growth at the Bitcoin Mena conference held in Abu Dhabi recently.

A New Era For Crypto Awaits

Manafort emphasized that Trump is a substantial backer of the digital currency market, suggesting that Bitcoin’s strength could increase further following Trump’s inauguration as President on January 20.

He commended Trump’s plan to revamp the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and create a tactical Bitcoin reserve, considering it would create a more welcoming atmosphere for digital currencies.

Manafort expressed that exhilarating moments lie ahead for individuals involved in the digital currency market. He further noted that those who cheered on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 can expect even more reason to celebrate as prices potentially rise even higher.

Manafort’s confidence stems from Trump’s recent moves intended to establish a more accommodating regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies within the nation.

Trump announced that he intends to appoint Paul Atkins as the new head of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), indicating a shift away from the current chairman, Gary Gensler, who will step down from his role on January 20.

In the past three years, Gensler’s tenure has been characterized by regulatory measures that have hindered market growth and acceptance. His departure might lead to a clearer regulatory landscape in ongoing legal battles between companies like Ripple and Coinbase.

Moreover, Donald Trump has chosen David Sacks as the first-ever “AI & Cryptocurrency Advisor” in the White House. In this role, Sacks is tasked with creating and implementing government regulations related to artificial intelligence and digital currencies.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited about the news that Sacks will be working to establish a clear legal framework. This is crucial for our industry to flourish here in the U.S., providing the clarity we’ve been seeking for some time now.

After Donald Trump’s win a month ago, the value of Bitcoin has skyrocketed about 50%. This significant rise can also be attributed to a spike in purchases from companies that issue exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with their current Bitcoin holdings now standing at approximately $40 billion.

Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Could Hit $275,000

As an analyst, I’ve expressed my insights about the potential of Bitcoin on platform X (previously known as Twitter). My analysis suggests that, given a bullish cup and handle pattern, Bitcoin could potentially soar to approximately $275,000.

Additionally, the analyst advised that Bitcoin must maintain its value above $96,000. If it doesn’t, there’s a possibility of a decline towards approximately $85,000, mirroring trends observed in past market fluctuations.

Currently, the dominant cryptocurrency is holding its ground at the suggested support level, according to experts, with only minimal fluctuations above it. To avoid falling back into significantly lower prices, it needs further triggers or factors that can serve as a counterbalance.
