Bitcoin Price Rebounds to $67,000 Ahead of Trump Speech
The price of Bitcoin has experienced a significant rebound ahead of former U.S. President Donald Trump's speech at the Bitcoin Conference 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, July 27. However, analysts warn that this price surge might be "impulsive" and could face further declines.
High Expectations for BTC Price Increase
Bitcoin's price has recovered from most of the previous week's losses and is currently trading around $67,000, up 4.75% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
"If Trump announces a strategic reserve, Bitcoin's price will soar," Thielen told Cointelegraph.
Thielen also mentioned that the U.S. Treasury has $600 billion worth of gold reserves, while the government has seized $15 billion worth of Bitcoin.
"Trump might hint at increasing this ratio to about 10% of gold reserves or more," Thielen added.
He predicts that even a mere mention of this could cause the market to respond swiftly without waiting for Trump's potential election in November.
Trump has been associated with an optimistic view of the crypto market after publicly expressing support for policies favorable to the industry. However, given the recent selling pressure, analysts caution that Bitcoin's current price movement might not be sustainable.
Potential for BTC Price Correction
In a July 26 post, popular trader Crypto Ed warned that Bitcoin's price surge above $67,000 appears "impulsive."
"This surge is stronger than I expected yesterday, looking impulsive," he wrote.
He initially anticipated a correction towards $62,000, but the current strength of the surge suggests the market might be heading for new highs. Crypto Ed also noted that if the market drops to $63,500, it would negate the latest bullish signal.
Conclusion
The recent surge in Bitcoin's price to $67,000 ahead of Donald Trump's anticipated speech at the Bitcoin Conference 2024 has sparked excitement and speculation in the market. Analysts highlight the potential for significant price increases if Trump announces strategic Bitcoin reserves. However, caution is advised as some experts warn that the current price movement might be impulsive and could face further corrections. The market remains on edge, watching for further developments and potential volatility as the conference unfolds.
