Bitcoin Bull Run: Analyst Predicts Potential Surge to $138,000 Amid Treasury Secretary Speculations
  • Analyst Tom Lee from Fundstrat Global Advisors predicts that Bitcoin could experience a historic bull run, potentially exceeding $100,000 by the end of 2024.

  • In a recent interview, Lee emphasized that a comfortable crossing of the $100,000 mark seems plausible, especially in light of President-elect Trump's upcoming Treasury Secretary selection.

  • Market analysts believe that Trump's choice for Treasury Secretary could significantly impact the establishment of a national Bitcoin reserve, which would be bullish for BTC.

  • Currently, Polymarket indicates a 66% chance that Bitcoin will hit $100,000 by December 2024, while Deribit traders estimate a 24% chance by the end of November.

  • As of today, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $90,970, reflecting a nearly 2% increase in the last 24 hours.

  • The anticipated surge in Bitcoin's price is expected to trigger an explosive altcoin season, prompting investors to identify promising projects.

  • Crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggests that past bull markets have seen Bitcoin rise significantly before corrections, hinting at a potential peak of $138,000 before a pullback.

  • Key support levels for Bitcoin are identified between $85,800 to $83,250, with a sustained daily close above $91,900 necessary to maintain a bullish outlook.

  • However, technical analysis shows a sell signal from the TD Sequential indicator and an overbought condition on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicating caution.

  • Martinez also warns of a potential steep correction as market greed rises, evidenced by increased Bitcoin-related Google searches and significant realized profits among investors.

  • Despite these concerns, Bitcoin's robust security features and blockchain technology continue to position it as a strong alternative to existing financial systems.

  • Lee's optimistic price forecast aligns with historical trends observed during previous Bitcoin Halving cycles, which are known for driving prices upward.
