Mike McGlone, Senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, has made a rather <\/span>pessimistic prediction for Bitcoin<\/span><\/a>, emphasizing that the cryptocurrency\u2019s potential rise to $150,00 was a long shot. The strategist has revealed factors that could make Bitcoin\u2019s projected surge to $150,000 difficult, highlighting both macroeconomic trends and <\/span>Bitcoin\u2019s performance in 2024<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a recent <\/span>interview<\/span><\/a> with Scott Melker, the host of \u201cThe Wolf Of All Streets,\u201d podcast, McGlone discussed Bitcoin\u2019s price fundamentals and its possible rise to $150,000 in the 2024 bull cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Comparing <\/span>Bitcoin with the stock market index, the S&P 500<\/span><\/a>, the Bloomberg strategist disclosed that the cryptocurrency was currently showing \u201cdivergent weakness,\u201d highlighting that Bitcoin\u2019s performance against the S&P 500 in 2021 was greater compared to 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He also revealed that Bitcoin was displaying a similar weak performance to <\/span>Gold<\/span><\/a>, emphasizing current market conditions and the risk of short-term deflation in the financial market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The combination of these factors pushes McGlone to believe that <\/span>Bitcoin\u2019s short-term projected rise to $150,000<\/span><\/a> was unlikely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While the Bloomberg strategist made his foreboding prediction despite Bitcoin\u2019s overperformance at the beginning of the year, McGlone still remains optimistic about <\/span>the cryptocurrency\u2019s price<\/span><\/a> and fundamental value in the long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Co-founder and CEO of CoinRoutes, Dave Weisberger, who was also in the podcast with McGlone, made a more <\/span>optimistic prediction for Bitcoin<\/span><\/a>. Basing his analysis on historical trends and patterns as far back as 2015, Weisberger forecasted that <\/span>Bitcoin could rise to $200,000<\/span><\/a> this cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n His forecast is also acknowledged by reformed hedge fund manager, James Lavish, who revealed in the podcast that <\/span>Spot Bitcoin ETFs <\/span><\/a>could become a potential driver for Bitcoin\u2019s continuous growth. This is attributed to the massive <\/span>impact Bitcoin ETFs <\/span><\/a>had on the cryptocurrency\u2019s price following its launch on January 11, 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After Spot Bitcoin ETFs were <\/span>successfully released into the market<\/span><\/a>, the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed to new all-time highs above $73,000. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $63,778, marking a 0.89% increase over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to Lavish, if <\/span>Bitcoin crashes down<\/span><\/a> to the $30,000 to $40,000 range, it would present a \u201ctremendous opportunity\u201d for investors to <\/span>acquire substantial value in a long-term asset<\/span><\/a> that will essentially hold its value and continue to appreciate in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBitcoin Surge To $150,000 Unlikely<\/h2>\n
