Bitcoin Soars, Altcoins Rally: Signs of a New Bull Run?

Published by

Bitcoin has ignited a fresh wave of optimism in the cryptocurrency market, surging over 11% in the past week to reach a whopping $65,758. This dramatic rally, accompanied by a bold upswing in major altcoins, has sent ripples through the industry.

Is this the beginning of a new bull run? Renowned crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe believes so.

He’s identified several market events pointing towards a potential recovery and the emergence of an altcoin season. Here’s what you should know.

What’s Fueling the Surge?

Van de Poppe notes that Germany’s completion of its Bitcoin sales has eased selling pressure. Additionally, Mt. Gox has distributed 66% of its outstanding BTC to clients, and the market has absorbed this influx, allowing Bitcoin to consolidate around $65,000. Since this news, Bitcoin’s price has surged by nearly 20%.

BlackRock Remains Bullish

Meanwhile, BlackRock, a leading investment management firm, has shown increasing positivity toward Bitcoin. Recently, BlackRock referred to Bitcoin as a hedge against global uncertainty. CEO Larry Fink, once a skeptic, now supports the cryptocurrency.

The inflow of $400 million into Bitcoin ETFs demonstrates strong interest from large investors, helping to stabilize the market. This influx of capital from big players indicates solid support for Bitcoin.

Miners’ Capitulation

Van de Poppe further notes that miners are capitulating at levels similar to those seen during the FTX crash. Historically, such negative sentiment often precedes price increases, suggesting the market may be ready for a rebound.

Altcoin Season Begins!

Interestingly, van de Poppe points out that altcoins have started to show strength, with many outperforming Bitcoin. Since mid-May, following the approval of the Ethereum ETF, Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin by 20%. 

This trend suggests growing confidence in Ethereum and its ecosystem, potentially leading to higher returns for altcoin investors. Historically, altcoins tend to perform better in the second half of the year. Van de Poppe believes this trend will continue, especially given the current market conditions and positive sentiment surrounding Ethereum.
