Bitcoin’s pre-halving rally may start soon — Here’s why
In the latest episode of The Market Report, Cointelegraph analyst and writer Marcel Pechman discusses Standard Chartered bank’s $120,000 Bitcoin price expectation based on the halving impact. According to the report, increased miner profitability due to a pre-halving rally would “reduce the net BTC supply.” Pechman, on the other hand, doesn’t acknowledge the thesis, given that the mining difficulty will continue to increase and the news confirming Riot Platform’s investment in new ASIC equipment. In fact, the mining difficulty increased by 73% in the last 12 months, while the Bitcoin (BTC)…

Bitcoin (BTC) Prices Are Hot, but Here’s What Could Crush the Rally: Crypto Long & Short
We’re starting today’s column where we left the last, asking: Will macroeconomic narratives subside? The answer may ultimately be a bit nuanced.

Can Bitcoin repeat a 2017-like rally as dollar correlation reverses?
There is a common belief that when the U.S. dollar declines relative to other main global currencies, as measured by the Dollar Strength Index (DXY), the impact on Bitcoin (BTC) is positive, and vice versa. For instance, the DXY index dropped from 103.0 on Jan. 2017 to a 92.6 low on Aug. 2017, while Bitcoin rallied from $1,000 to $4,930 in the same period. But is there enough evidence to justify a bull run similar to 2016–17, as some analysts are arguing? But is there enough evidence to justify a…

Pepe (PEPE) recently clinched a 2-month high following an impressive momentum that picked up two days ago. Amid this bullish run, market participants have leveraged the asset’s recent rally to rake in profits. As the buzz surrounding meme coins declined from late May to early June, PEPE dropped below the $0.000001 psychological support level on June 10 following a discouraging 17.5% intraday loss. The broader market-wide drop that saw BTC plummet below $25,000 contributed to this decline in PEPE’s price. After the drop, PEPE consolidated below $0.000001 until June 17,…

U.S. Investors Are Driving Bitcoin (BTC) Price Rally as Institutional Demand Rises
“The current institutional interest we are witnessing is far from the opportunistic FOMO [fear of missing out] we have seen in the past that can push prices up in the short term,” Kerbage wrote. “These institutions move slowly and deliberately and invest for the long term—once they are in, they are in.” Original
