Bitcoin has slipped\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">1.2 percent<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\"> over the past 24 hours to $<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">111,500<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">, with the rest of the crypto sector seeing even steeper losses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">But beneath this sluggish surface, a powerful undercurrent of institutional demand and a shifting macroeconomic tide are quietly building a case for a major breakout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">A prophecy of a powerful move<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Speaking at the Digital Asset Summit in London on Wednesday, Quinn Thompson, the chief investment officer at Lekker Capital, delivered a bold and bullish prophecy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">He argued that Bitcoin\u2019s current decoupling from gold is a temporary anomaly that is about to violently correct itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u201cI posit that we will catch up to gold,\u201d<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0he told the audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u201cIt will start very soon and the move that is about to come in bitcoin and crypto broadly will resemble a November 2024 and an October 2023 type of move.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">These were periods of explosive, parabolic growth, and Thompson\u2019s prediction is a clear signal that he believes a similar fire is about to be lit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">A \u2018floor\u2019 of demand, a path to $150,000<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">This view is not held in isolation. Matt Mena, a crypto research analyst at 21Shares, voiced a similar outlook, arguing that Bitcoin\u2019s remarkable durability in the face of global uncertainty is a testament to its underlying strength. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">This, he says, is\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u201cunderscoring how structural demand\u2014anchored by ETF inflows and a more dovish policy outlook\u2014continues to provide a floor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">With the speculative leverage recently flushed out of the system and a new era of monetary easing on the horizon, Mena is now projecting that Bitcoin could climb to $<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">150,000<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0before the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">The shadow of the Fed looms large<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">The key to unlocking this potential, all agree, lies with the US Federal Reserve. The market\u2019s conviction that the central bank is on a firm path to continue easing its monetary policy is the primary engine of the current \u201crisk-on\u201d mood. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">That conviction was strengthened on Wednesday with the release of the Fed\u2019s Beige Book, which reported growing signs of weakness in the US labor market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Fed Chair Jerome Powell himself has acknowledged this\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u201csoftness,\u201d<\/span><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0a clear signal to the market that further rate cuts are very much on the table for the two remaining policy meetings this year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">For now, Bitcoin waits, a sleeping giant biding its time. But if the analysts are right, it is a slumber that is about to come to a spectacular and explosive end.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/bitcoins-october-slowdown-masks-underlying-strength-analysts-say\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Bitcoin is lagging in October, but analysts say its stability signals strength.
