Market dynamics point to $150,000 bitcoin, says John Divine
Bitcoin’s trajectory has been a hot topic in financial circles, and predictions about its year-end value are more diverse than ever. Roundtable anchor Rob Nelson recently delved into these predictions with John Divine, Digital Asset OTC Trading at BlockFills, who remains steadfast in his bullish stance on bitcoin, projecting it to hit $150,000 by December 31.
Nelson opened the discussion by probing Divine about whether his crystal ball predictions had changed. Divine confidently reiterated his prediction of bitcoin hitting $150,000. He highlighted several bullish indicators, including recent statements from SkyBridge Capital’s Anthony Scaramucci and Standard Chartered’s bullish outlook.
Divine emphasized the significant impact of market dynamics, noting that traditional stocks are currently at all-time highs while bitcoin is lagging. He highlighted systematic trading strategies that intertwine the performance of the S&P 500 and bitcoin, suggesting that bitcoin’s lag could eventually lead to a significant rally when certain market conditions are met.
He explained that bitcoin’s path to $85,000 could be swift once it breaks the $72,000 mark, potentially reaching $100,000 before the US election. Divine attributed this potential surge to multiple market participants, including miners, systematic traders, and speculators, who could drive up bitcoin’s price in a high-activity environment.
Divine concluded by emphasizing the lack of significant capital deployment during recent pullbacks, suggesting that the next wave of investment could propel bitcoin to new all-time highs. He remains steadfast in his prediction, anticipating a robust market response that could see bitcoin reach its projected target by the end of the year.
