Virtual currency market conditions
In the crypto asset (virtual currency) market, Bitcoin (BTC) rose 3.7% from the previous day to 1 BTC = $50,000.
BTC/USD weekly
The price has surpassed the most recent high recorded after the Bitcoin ETF was approved. Among the major alts, Ethereum (ETH) rose 6.2% from the previous day, and Solana (SOL) rose 7.3%.
Crypto Rover expressed the view that a bullish trend reversal will become clear once 1 BTC = $48,500 and the price breaks through the 0.618 Fibonacci level. Fibonacci is the return high when subtracting the near-term bottom of $16,000 at the time of the FTX shock in October 2022 from the $69,000 recorded in November 2021.
Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX, had bought a put option with a strike price of $35,000 in anticipation of a correction in Bitcoin, but when it did not fall as expected and rebounded sharply, he closed his position and turned bullish. That’s what it means.
Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju), CEO of data analysis company CryptoQuant, pointed out that 1 BTC could reach $112,000 by the end of this year.

The basis for this is that the pace of inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs reaches $9.5 billion every month. He pointed out that if the current pace continues, it could increase by $114 billion annually. Even after subtracting outflows from Grayscale’s investment trust Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), a significant increase is expected.
Ki Young Ju also estimated future prices based on the MVRV ratio. According to past market trends, the 0.75 level would be the bottom, and the 3.9 level would be the ceiling. MVRV is calculated by dividing Bitcoin’s market capitalization by its realized capital (Realized Cap), and is one of the indicators that indicates the top of a bull market and the bottom of a bear market.
Inflows into exchange-traded investment products (ETPs) exceeded $1.1 billion last week, according to asset management firm CoinShares’ weekly report.

Total assets under management (AuM) reached $59 billion, the highest level since early 2022.
On the other hand, the reaction of individual investors who have become skeptical due to the FTX bankruptcy etc. is generally slow, and Google trends showing organic search inflows for “Bitcoin” are still sluggish, indicating low interest among individual investors. Some say that this suggests a high level of sustainability.
