Bitcoin price is still plummeting<\/a> from a rejection at new highs set this weekend, and struggling to maintain support at former resistance levels. On the way down, the buying pressure has been far less than it was on the way up, which has one top cryptocurrency quant analyst warning that fresh USD capital is necessary for new highs.<\/p>\n

Here’s what it might take for the leading cryptocurrency by market cap to make a full recovery and move beyond $60,000, according to key fundamental factors.<\/p>\n

Fresh USD Inflows To Spot Exchanges Necessary For Further Bull Market Momentum<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin has been in an ongoing uptrend ever since Black Thursday of last year, when markets crashed globally due to the onset of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

During the last year, months at a time were spent with the most dominant spot exchange in the United States, Coinbase, had a substantial price premium<\/a> over other stablecoin-denominated exchanges.<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase offer investors a direct fiat on-ramp into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and dozens of altcoins. When cash is pouring into the crypto asset class, the premium appears. When cash is bleeding back out, the premium diminishes, and can even tip in favor of stablecoin trading pairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I think $BTC<\/a> would take some time to get another leg up in terms of demand\/supply.<\/p>\n
