Bitcoin Shoots Higher: Here’s What Analysts Are Saying

Long-time technical analyst Peter Brandt says that Bitcoin is in the midst of a longer-term parabolic advance, potentially meaning there is upside from here.

Commenting on the chart seen below, Brandt, who has been a trader in the futures markets for decades, said:

“Bitcoin is undergoing its third parabolic advance in the past decade. A parabolic advance on an arithmetic scale is extremely rare – three on a log scale is historic.”

Bitcoin is also likely to benefit from fundamental trends, too.

Charles Edwards, a crypto-asset investor and analyst, recently said that today has been a serious day for the fundamentals of BTC. Positive fundamental events include:

• MicroStrategy may be buying $900 million worth of BTC, pending the sale of corporate bonds to qualified institutional buyers.
• BlackRock has announced that it has started to dabble in BTC, confirming sentiment that has been floating about over the past few weeks.
• Digital asset firms have begun to file for Bitcoin ETFs once again.
