Bitcoin Has Moved Back Above $90,000. Why This Strategist Says a Return to $100,000 Is Not Far Away

Dow Jones
Nov 28

Bitcoin is likely on the path back to $100,000, as it enters a seasonally bullish period.

That’s according to BTIG’s chief technical strategist, Jonathan Krinksy, who said the cryptocurrency is looking oversold and shared the following chart as bitcoin was pushing above $91,000 on Friday, levels that it hasn’t seen in more than a week.

According to Krinsky’s chart, bitcoin is just about to come out of a traditionally weak period, based on a 2015 to 2024 historical pattern. “The average seasonal pattern for BTC bottoms Nov. 26th and has a strong tailwind into year-end,” he said

While U.S. markets took a Thanksgiving Day break, cryptocurrencies never take a holiday, and bitcoin has been creeping higher since the close of Wall Street trading on Wednesday.

The price of bitcoin went from around $87,000 on Wednesday to over $91,000 by Thursday and was trading at $91,615 on Friday. Alongside stocks that saw a strong bounce into the Thanksgiving Day break, bitcoin has climbed over 8% this week.

The No. 1 cryptocurrency is still 27% below its Oct. 6 record high of $126,272, coming under pressure in recent weeks alongside a bigger drop for stocks and reduced appetite for perceived riskier assets.

According to Deutsche Bank, uncertainty over Fed interest rate cuts has also been a factor for weakness, as well as outflows from big institutional traders and long-term holders of the bitcoin who have been cashing in on a big run.

Where bitcoin goes has become a focal point for many stock investors as the cryptocurrency’s moves seem increasingly correlated to U.S. growth stocks.
