According to Jurrien Timmer, global macroeconomics director at Fidelity, the bitcoin bull cycle could restart for four years. His arguments are based on BTC’s resistance above $60,000 and the improvement of its performance against gold.
In brief
- Bitcoin recovers $80,000 and relaunches the scenario of a new bull cycle.
- Jurrien Timmer relies on BTC’s resistance above $60,000 and its performance against gold.
- The 50-week moving average is a major technical signal to confirm the recovery.
- $82,000 threshold could determine the continuation of the movement towards $90,000.
- The macroeconomic environment could strengthen interest in rare assets like bitcoin and gold.
The bitcoin bull cycle rests on two signals
Bitcoin rose nearly 6% last Friday and regained the $80,000 level. This increase accompanied the drop of oil below $100, which temporarily eased fears of a new inflation spike.
According to Jurrien Timmer, this scenario occurs after about a year of consolidation above the $60,000 zone. This duration could correspond to a typical bitcoin “winter”.
His analysis mainly relies on the following elements :
- Bitcoin preserved the $60,000 zone for almost a year ;
- This period corresponds to the usual duration of a major bear market ;
- The statistical score comparing bitcoin to gold has become positive again ;
- Previous reversals of this indicator have often accompanied a bottom point.
