Analysts are bullish on Bitcoin, with Ki Young Ju of CryptoQuant predicting a possible surge to $265,000. Here's why:
Strong Network Fundamentals: Bitcoin's PoW system relies on miners who sell rewards (BTC) for operational costs.
Hashrate as a Bullish Indicator: Increased Hashrate (computing power) suggests miner confidence and network security. Currently, Hashrate is high despite a lower price compared to 2021.
Potential Market Cap Increase: Ju's analysis suggests a potential market cap tripling based on the Hashrate/Market Cap Ratio.
However, there are opposing factors:
Slower Accumulation by Retail Investors: "Shrimps" (smaller investors) are buying less compared to new Bitcoin creation.
Short-Term Bearish Pressure: Technical analysis suggests a potential drop to $56,000.
Bitcoin's future remains uncertain, but strong network fundamentals provide a basis for the $265,000 bull case.
