Therefore, unless otherwise there is a break above $8,500 and later $9,100, BTC may topple below $7,500. Bitcoin Price Analysis Fundamentals Thus far, it has been a perfect start for cryptocurrency investors. Recording double-digit gains over the last two quarters, Bitcoin is a standout. Even so, that is not deterring bears from hitting back and capping progress. In the last three or so weeks, it is evident that prices are ranging inside a $1,000 zone. That\u2019s a classic accumulation as this is printing in a clear bullish trend. However, since halving is next year, coinciding with a significant political event in the US, BTC investors are optimistic. Already, the expectation of a favorable price repricing is prodding demand in Litecoin. Rallying above $130 at the time of writing, Litecoin, a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Bitcoin designed purposefully to complement the network, is up five-fold after hitting rock bottom in mid-Dec 2018. Behind this euphoric rally is August\u2019s halving. If Litecoin, therefore, becomes a blueprint, odds are-and this happened before, BTC could surge to near highs. Arthur Hayes, the CEO, and founder of BitMex said he his confident prices would surge to $50,000 by the close of the year. Ahead of BTC halving, the same may happen as many analysts concur on this possibility. Candlestick Arrangement While there is no reason to trust bulls as Tone Vays warns, BTC bulls have the upper hand. If anything, $8,000 is a psychological price tag and a vital level for traders. As a reminder, it is crucial for bulls to not only build the momentum required for thrusting prices above $8,500 and $9,000. Notwithstanding, priming this upsurge must be high participation. That will be a litmus test gauging the strength of buyers, a prerequisite for a trend continuation. As it is, there is an opportunity for aggressive traders to buy the dips as long as BTC is above $7,500. However, that will largely depend on the confirmation of the three-bar bull reversal pattern of June 4th through 10th. Ideally, the perfect entry is above $9,100. Such a break above May high would trigger the much-needed wave that could push BTC to above $10,000 and $12,000.

His specialization in NFTs, blockchain, DeFi, and blockchain news for NewsBTC, combined with a background in mechanical engineering and over a decade of experience in journalism, has allowed him to craft over 10,000 news and feature articles over the past eight years. His diverse range of topics, including technology, Forex, and finance, reflects his comprehensive understanding of the crypto landscape. His technical expertise and analytical skills have been recognized and featured by leading news outlets such as Investing.com, CoinTelegraph, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and other authority sites. Notably, he broke key news, including the Ripple and MoneyGram partnership, cementing his position as a thought leader in crypto. The news exploded. Over 100,000 people devoured this meticulously crafted report, from seasoned investors to curious newcomers. His analysis wasn't just dry facts and figures; it crackled with insight, dissecting the implications of the partnership and its potential impact on the future of finance. His deep understanding of the financial markets, technological advancements, and blockchain developments has made him a respected voice in the industry. Dalmas is also the founder of BTC-Pulse, a crypto news site, further demonstrating his commitment to the field. He firmly believes that DeFi and NFTs are here to stay and will continue to drive financial inclusion. Coming from Nairobi, Kenya, it is easy to see the source of his inspiration: Across Africa, millions lack access to traditional banks. Remote villages, limited documentation, and high minimum balances create insurmountable barriers. DeFi, not just Maker or Aave, for example, but think of Bitcoin and USDT, cuts out the middleman. Forget banks with their limitations. Even so, DeFi isn't a magic solution. The continent still struggles with reliable internet access, and educational campaigns highlighting the benefits of this wonderful solution are insufficient. Moreover, even for those interested, understanding DeFi can look like learning a new language. Dalmas is here to help make the tech easy to understand and digestible, even for beginners. The story of DeFi in Africa is still being written. Challenges abound, but the promise of a more inclusive financial future is a powerful motivator. With innovation and collaboration, Dalmas firmly believes that DeFi could become the key to unlocking Africa's full economic potential. This possibility and its immense value motivate Dalmas to continue breaking key DeFi innovations and more across the globe. His engineering background further enhances his ability to deliver well-thought-out pieces that blend technical insight with clear, impactful reporting. Beyond his professional achievements, Dalmas is deeply passionate about technology and politics. Policies drive adoption, and being at the forefront and keeping up with how they evolve is crucial for the sphere to mature. When Dalmas is not closely monitoring the latest crypto events, he can be found in nature, exploring the picturesque countryside, and traveling with his family and friends. His love for adventure and discovery perfectly complements his investigative and reporting skills.

Dalmas is also the founder of BTC-Pulse, a crypto news site, further demonstrating his commitment to the field. He firmly believes that DeFi and NFTs are here to stay and will continue to drive financial inclusion. Coming from Nairobi, Kenya, it is easy to see the source of his inspiration: Across Africa, millions lack access to traditional banks. Remote villages, limited documentation, and high minimum balances create insurmountable barriers. DeFi, not just Maker or Aave, for example, but think of Bitcoin and USDT, cuts out the middleman. Forget banks with their limitations. Even so, DeFi isn't a magic solution. The continent still struggles with reliable internet access, and educational campaigns highlighting the benefits of this wonderful solution are insufficient. Moreover, even for those interested, understanding DeFi can look like learning a new language. Dalmas is here to help make the tech easy to understand and digestible, even for beginners. The story of DeFi in Africa is still being written. Challenges abound, but the promise of a more inclusive financial future is a powerful motivator. With innovation and collaboration, Dalmas firmly believes that DeFi could become the key to unlocking Africa's full economic potential. This possibility and its immense value motivate Dalmas to continue breaking key DeFi innovations and more across the globe. His engineering background further enhances his ability to deliver well-thought-out pieces that blend technical insight with clear, impactful reporting. Beyond his professional achievements, Dalmas is deeply passionate about technology and politics. Policies drive adoption, and being at the forefront and keeping up with how they evolve is crucial for the sphere to mature. When Dalmas is not closely monitoring the latest crypto events, he can be found in nature, exploring the picturesque countryside, and traveling with his family and friends. His love for adventure and discovery perfectly complements his investigative and reporting skills.
