Analyst Notes: Prominent cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo noted on X that “BTC fundamentals have turned bullish,” providing a favorable environment to break all-time highs. Woo highlighted increasing capital flows into the network, with both total and speculative flows bottoming out.
“All dips are for buying under the present regime,” Woo summarized, though cautioning that Bitcoin’s short-term movement may be limited due to overextension.
Meanwhile, analyst Michaël van de Poppe said that altcoins are turning bullish after “the longest bear market ever,” which lasted four years.
Van de Poppe emphasized the correlation between Chinese Renminbi/U.S. Dollar movements and Ethereum’s performance against Bitcoin, suggesting that macroeconomic factors are more influential than traditional four-year crypto cycles.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said that Bitcoin’s “Accumulation Trend Score is nearing 1, signaling intense accumulation and strong holder conviction.”
The cryptocurrency market continues its maturation process amid growing institutional adoption, with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins recently calling for clearer regulatory frameworks to help the industry thrive in the United States.
