Bitcoin Outlook for 2024
Hot Events
The year 2023 has seen a
significant rise in Bitcoin (BTC), which has increased by
+130% so far. With BTC close to critical resistance levels in the $38,000 area, trader Mauro Caimi provides an in-depth analysis of the dynamics behind this trend and projects his outlook for 2024 in a recent
YouTube video.
The factors that drove BTC up in 2023
2023 was dominated by the discussion around the
Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) and its impact on the
cryptocurrency's becoming institutionalised. This led to an increase in interest in BTC.
The other factor that strongly influenced 2023 was the
intensifying regulation of the sector, with the latest case in chronological order being the affairs of Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, whose CEO Changpeng Zhao was forced to resign and is now facing legal issues with the US authorities.
2024 outlook for Bitcoin spot ETFs
Although the Bitcoin spot ETF has yet to be approved, expectations have driven demand, showing an unusual '
buy the rumour and sell the news' dynamic in a m arket where BTC remains a scarce asset. The case of the approval of the spot ETF on Bitcoin could be the first case of ‘
buy the rumours, buy the news’, as its approval would inevitably lead to an
increase in demand for BTC for technical reasons, and consequently to an increase in the price.
However, there are
two possible scenarios:
1.
ETF approval. The approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF could lead to a brief dip in price, representing the end of the current cycle, followed by a rise due to increased demand.
2.
ETF approval delayed. If the approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF is delayed, panic selling could occur. However, the new waiting period for approval would coincide with the
next Bitcoin halving, so demand for BTC could rise again in a context of even tighter supply.
Then there is the possibility of a
black swan event: a
rejection of the Bitcoin spot ETF by the SEC could completely disrupt the market and force investors to rethink their strategies.
2024: the year of altcoins
After the euphoria surrounding
bitcoin ETFs, trader Mauro Caimi predicts that
attention will shift to altcoins. This phenomenon could be similar to what happened in 2021, when the market capitalisation of altcoins increased significantly.
This should also prompt traders to review and diversify their portfolios.
Conclusions
Caimi points out that
2024 could be an exciting year for cryptocurrencies, with possible breakthroughs for bitcoin and growing interest in altcoins.
The
market is preparing for different scenarios, keeping a close eye on ETF dynamics and regulatory developments.
