As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade of experience under my belt, I must admit that the current bullish momentum of Bitcoin is nothing short of exhilarating. Having weathered multiple market cycles, I’ve learned to read between the lines and not get carried away by short-term predictions. Yet, even I find it hard not to be optimistic when Ash Crypto, a respected voice in the crypto community, predicts BTC reaching $150,000 to $200,000, and Michael Van De Poppe foresees a staggering $300,000.
On Tuesday, Bitcoin reached an unprecedented peak of $108,000, marking a new record high for the digital currency. This remarkable achievement has sparked speculation that its upward trend could persist, with analysts suggesting that the bullish phase might not have run its course just yet.
In recent times, Bitcoin has maintained prices over $100,000, indicating increasing faith in the cryptocurrency. Notably, crypto analyst Ash Crypto on platform X forecasts that the BTC value might surge between $150,000 and $200,000. However, current market trends show a bearish divergence in the RSI, suggesting potential short-term price drops.
In the final three months of 2023, Ash observed a similar trend unfold, where instead of Bitcoin’s value decreasing as expected, it surged. He speculates that this pattern may recur, suggesting an upward trajectory for Bitcoin’s price in spite of the cautionary signals.
Michael Van De Poppe anticipates a rise in several digital currencies during the present market phase. He expressed that it wouldn’t be unexpected if Bitcoin (BTC) surpasses $300,000 in this cycle, as he draws parallels between the current market dynamics and those observed in 2017, characterized by substantial price growth and promising upside possibilities.
Bitcoin’s Bullish Momentum Fueled by Market Sentiment and Growing Demand
At present, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index stands at 87, indicating an intense feeling of greed among investors. Such high levels of greed often trigger FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), causing more people to invest, potentially escalating buying activity and propelling Bitcoin’s price even higher.
According to CryptoQuant’s on-chain analysis, as the value of Bitcoin climbs higher, there’s been a noticeable rise in transactions occurring in the spot market. In contrast, futures trading activity seems to be dwindling. This growing interest in the spot market is driving up the price of Bitcoin.
Spot Market Demand Takes the Lead as Bitcoin Continues Its Upward Momentum
Although trading in the futures market is lessening, the need in the spot market is growing instead. This implies that the speculative fervor in the futures market might be subsiding, whereas the urge to buy in the spot market seems to be… intensifying or escalating.

Political Moves and Global Support Could Propel Bitcoin’s Growth
The re-election of Donald Trump as the U.S. President has significantly contributed to the surge in Bitcoin’s value. In his recent public appearances, Trump has expressed favorable views towards the use of cryptocurrencies, even suggesting the possibility of creating a national Bitcoin reserve.
Experts in the cryptocurrency field propose that the government might take steps to buy Bitcoin with its current financial resources. This action could lend credibility and legitimacy to the digital currency.
Lawmaker Sarah Knafo from Europe has proposed establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve within the EU. Contrary to the suggestion of a digital Euro, she favors the creation of a Bitcoin national strategic reserve for the EU.
Holding substantial amounts of Bitcoin by entities within the European Union and the United States might inspire other nations to follow suit, leading to a significant accumulation of this digital currency. Consequently, such actions could weaken existing regulations that have impeded the asset’s widespread adoption and acceptance, possibly propelling the value of the token to unparalleled heights.
Bitcoin’s Integration into Traditional Financial Markets
The incorporation of Bitcoin into conventional financial systems is progressing steadily, moving past just personal and governmental involvement. Notably, retail investors have poured in approximately $11 million into MicroStrategy, which is almost triple the usual daily investment influx for this year.
As an analyst, I noticed a surge in investments in the company post its inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index. This move is anticipated to draw more institutional investors as Bitcoin’s impact extends beyond the realm of cryptocurrencies.
