Bitcoin rally is 'just getting started' says Mati Greenspan

Published at: Dec. 17, 2020

In a newsletter released today, the Quantum Economics founder said Bitcoin’s recent rally past $23,000 — a gain of roughly 29% in a week — didn’t necessarily mean the market was “overheating” and heading for a crash like the one in December 2017.

“In our opinion, things are just getting started,” said Greenspan. “We probably shouldn't be using any old yardsticks when it comes to determining what kinds of percentage gains are possible.”

He added:

“Should demand continue to pick up from these levels and supply continue to constrain, there is a distinct possibility that we may see some days of 250% gains, or even more.”

Greenspan said there isn’t “anyone on the planet who might be able to predict” when Bitcoin (BTC) will turn bearish, if ever, but the price could be “any number between $23,800 and $1 million per coin.” He also didn’t rule out Guggenheim Partners’ Scott Miner’s claim that the crypto asset “should be worth about $400,000.”

“Now that we're past the prior all-time highs, there are no levels left on the chart that might indicate where the price might eventually top out,” said Greenspan. “It will top out at some point though. You can be sure of that.”

Other figures in the crypto space, like Binance.US CEO Catherine Coley, also see the current Bitcoin bull run as evidence of sustained growth:

“When the Fed and other governing agencies across the world are seemingly OK with the effects of inflation on fiat currencies, we’ll continue to see the diversification thesis into BTC surge, with price breaking through key technical levels.”

The price of Bitcoin is $22,863 at the time of publication, having risen 9.8% in the last 24 hours.

Guggenheim CIO expects Bitcoin to drop to $20,000
A senior executive at financial services firm Guggenheim Partners — which is planning to seek investment exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) — has argued that BTC is poised to drop to $20,000.

After hitting $42,000 price level on Jan. 8, Bitcoin is unlikely to climb any higher until 2022, Minerd said: “I think for the time being, we probably put in the top for bitcoin for the next year or so.

How long will the crypto bear market last? Raoul Pal's macro analysis
Macro investor Raoul Pal is convinced that the current crypto bear market will end only once the Fed eases its hawkish monetary policy by halting interest rate hikes. That could happen in the next couple of months, according to Pal's predictions. “The Fed are unlikely to raise rates as far and as fast as people expect. My guess is they probably stop raising rates sometime in the summer and that will be it,” he said in an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph. Pal sees the combination of high interest rates and fear of an upcoming recession as the main macro factors …
