Bitcoin Takes a Breather: Is It a Pause or Just a Dramatic Intermission? 🎭💰

by

Well, folks, it seems Bitcoin is taking a little nap! 💤 After a wild ride following a court ruling on President Trump’s tariffs, our favorite cryptocurrency might just be doing the cha-cha sideways. But don’t panic! This isn’t a sign of doom and gloom, according to our crypto guru, Nick Forster. He’s got the scoop!

“Sure, we hit over $111,000 and it was a blast! 🎉 But right now, it looks like we’re in a cozy little consolidation phase instead of gearing up for a breakout,” said Forster, the founder of the onchain options protocol Derive, while sipping his coffee at CryptoMoon. ☕️

Time to Digest Those Gains! 🍽️

Forster insists that this little pause is like a healthy snack before the main course. It’s a chance for the market to digest those recent gains and prepare for the next big feast! 🍕

Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a rollercoaster, up 11.59% in the last 30 days, hitting a jaw-dropping all-time high of $111,970 on May 22, before sliding back down to around $105,976. Talk about a dramatic plot twist! 🎢

What’s next? Who knows! Bitcoin researcher Sminston With thinks BTC could skyrocket by 100% to 200%, with a peak somewhere between $220,000 and $330,000. Meanwhile, crypto trader Apsk32 is playing it cool, suggesting a more “reasonable” target of $220,000 for 2025. Just a casual stroll to the moon! 🌕

Forster also mentioned that the US Court of International Trade decided on May 28 to block Trump’s tariffs, which means the inflation monster is taking a nap too. But wait! The Court of Appeals said Trump can keep his tariff party going while he appeals. 🎉

And don’t forget, the US Federal Reserve’s next interest decision on June 18 is going to be a nail-biter! 🧨

Q3: The Surprise Party of the Year? 🎊

Forster believes that while Q3 has been a snooze-fest for Bitcoin in the past, 2025 might just throw a surprise party! 🎈

“With some friendly regulatory developments and institutional interest, we might see Bitcoin strut its stuff in Q3,” he said, while checking his crystal ball. 🔮

Since 2013, Bitcoin has averaged a 6.03% gain in Q3, while Q4 has been the superstar, raking in an average return of 85.42%. Talk about a dramatic comeback! 📈

Forster also pointed out that there’s been a flood of spot Bitcoin ETF inflows that haven’t made a splash in the spot price yet. “Despite over $6.2 billion flowing into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust in May, Bitcoin’s price is playing hard to get,” he quipped. 💸

In the week ending May 23, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a whopping $2.75 billion in inflows. “This is just how ETF investments roll, folks! Institutional investors want in without rocking the boat on spot prices,” he added, winking at the camera. 😉
