Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm MNTrading, saw a “calm upwards period” for Bitcoin, with altcoins potentially outperforming.


“Clearly, Bitcoin has held range low strongly at $60.5K.

In the latest market update sent to Telegram channel subscribers, trading firm QCP Capital entertained a return to new all-time highs for Bitcoin.


“We expect bullish momentum here that could take us back to the highs of 74k,” it revealed, adding that the “stars seems to be aligning on this breakout with significant sovereign and institutional adoption, abating inflation and upcoming US elections.”
