NEW ALL-TIME HIGH 🚨

BREAKING: Bitcoin sets new all-time high, “crashes” and then immediately rebounds

bitcoin

What an eventful day for Bitcoin.

A new all-time high of $69,170.63 has been set. 🥳🥳

A massive congratulations to all holders. You deserve it.

Unfortunately, that high lasted about 4 minutes... 😂

Bitcoin experienced a flash crash, briefly falling below $60,000. Before rebounding back to ~$66,700 at the time of writing.

BTC price

But that’s not all that happened yesterday.

Despite the brief negative price action, the ETFs still crushed it.

BlackRock recorded it’s highest daily inflows of $788 million.

  • 🥇 BlackRock IBIT: $788 million

  • 🥈 Fidelity FBTC: $125.6 million

  • 🥉 ARK Invest ARKB: $63.7 million

Total inflows for the day came in at $648.3 million.

ETF flows

But wait, there’s more…

The ETFs also set a new record with $10 billion in daily trade volume.

ETF analyst Eric Balchunas points out how absurd these numbers are for new ETFs.

WHAT’S TO COME? 🤔

Bitcoin could reach as high as $140,000 in the next 18 days

That’s the latest call from Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano

Sort of…

pomp

Appearing on CNBC yesterday, Pomp had a very interesting statistic to share:

“If we go back and look at past record high breaks, when we eclipse the old all-time high. Three of the four times, Bitcoin doubled in 18 days or less.”

Anthony Pompliano

It’s hard to believe isn’t it?

Bitcoin’s price doubled in 18 days or less in 3 of the 4 times that it hit a new all-time high.

As Bitcoin has just set a new all-time high of ~$69,170

It wouldn’t be unreasonable to see Bitcoin reach ~$138,000 in the next 18 days… right?

DL tweet

Well keep in mind, just because it happened in the past doesn’t mean it’ll happen in the future.

Plus, Bitcoin’s price action lately has already been insane:

  • Last week: +10.98%

  • Last month: +48.59%

  • Last Year: +184.60%

Continuing on, Pomp explained why he’s so ridiculously bullish right now:

“You add in the fact that we have the halving coming, we’re going from 900 Bitcoin a day coming into the supply to 450. It’s very hard to make an argument that Bitcoin is not going much higher and at faster pace than we all expect.”

Anthony Pompliano

For the last 2 months, there’s been 10-12x more demand for Bitcoin than what the network produces.

Once the halving hits, demand is shooting up to ~20x incoming supply.

This demand supply ratio of 20:1 is unprecedented in global finance for any period of time.

Literally the perfect storm. ⛈️

BITCOIN DEMAND BREAKDOWN 💪

Today we’ve got a unique chart for you.

It’s a comparison between the ETF flows, Exchange flows and Bitcoin issuance.

All values are in US dollars and a weekly average is used.

Here’s how it works:

  • 🟪 Bitcoin Issuance: new Bitcoin entering the supply from miners

  • 🟠 Exchange flows: Bitcoin entering and leaving exchange balances

  • 🟢 ETF flows: Bitcoin accumulated by the ETFs

onchain

Bitcoin issuance (assumed sell side) has increased from $22m/day in Sept 2023 to $59m/day today. This is due to Bitcoin’s crazy price action.

But it’ll be halved soon. (halving is ~43 days away)

Since the launch of the ETFs, exchanges have experienced consistent outflows.

Exchange outflows peaked at -$246m/day in February, but have since come down to -$17m/day. Likely due to some long-term holders taking profits.

Recently, net inflows into the ETFs has averaged $300m/day.

Also notice how the gap between ETF inflows and Exchange outflows is widening?

This is the MAIN reason for Bitcoin setting a new all-time high.

Like we discussed earlier, demand for Bitcoin is extremely strong right now. 😎

CRACKING CRYPTO 🥜

Ethereum price hits two-year high as network fees soar, SEC stalls on ETF decision. Ethereum's price surpasses $3,700 amidst record network fees and SEC delay on spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).

Bitcoin analysts say BTC price correction is just ‘healthy consolidation’. Bitcoin traders expected profit-taking at BTC’s all-time high and expect price consolidation in the short term.

Bitcoin returned to all-time high faster than ever before (almost). The bear market may have been grueling but bitcoin rushed back to record highs far quicker than previous cycles.
