Analyst and head of research at 10x Research Markus Thielen said in a Sept. 27 report that there could be a fourth-quarter crypto rally because Bitcoin’s return above the $65,000 price level could create fear of missing out, or FOMO, in the market. 


According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin has recorded gains of around 11.18% over the past month, the highest since March.  


Meanwhile, Charles Edwards, founder and CEO of investment firm Capriole, predicted significant inflows as traders leave gold and other stocks. 


“The capital flows back into Bitcoin from gold and stocks over the next 6 months will be relentless,” Edwards said in a Sept. 27 X post. Source:Charles Edwards
