💰 Bitcoin Halving: Goldman Sachs Downplays Impact of 'Buy the Rumor, Sell the News'
Goldman Sachs analysts believe that whether the upcoming Bitcoin halving will turn out to be a “buy the rumor, sell the news” event may have less impact on bitcoin’s medium-term outlook. They explained that the bitcoin price performance will likely continue to be driven by the supply-demand dynamic and continued demand for spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), “which combined with the self-reflexive nature of crypto markets is the primary determinant for spot price action.”

💰 Exchanges expected to run out of Bitcoin 9 months after halving – Bybit report
A recent analysis by crypto exchange Bybit has sounded the alarm on a potential shortage of Bitcoin (BTC) on exchanges by the end of 2024 if demand remains at similar levels. The report predicts that reserves could be entirely depleted within the next nine months if current withdrawal rates persist — currently around 7000 BTC per day. The shortage forecast is closely tied to the anticipated halving event in 2024, which will cut the Bitcoin production on each block by half.

💰 Robert Kiyosaki Concurs With Cathie Wood’s $2.3M Bitcoin Prediction
American author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki has voiced his agreement with a $2.3 million per Bitcoin (BTC) prediction that Cathie Wood’s asset management firm Ark Invest made earlier this year. The invest manager explained that a 1% allocation from the $250 trillion global investable asset base could push BTC to $120,000. In the same vein, a 4.8% average maximum Sharpe ratio allocation from 2015 to 2023 would have placed BTC at $550,000, while a 19.4% allocation could make the cryptocurrency skyrocket to $2.3 million.

💰 Bitcoin long-term holder begin to ease off profit-taking: Glassnode
Bitcoin's March all-time high saw a spike in profit-taking by long-term holders, but this activity has since begun to taper off, a Glassnode report said. According to the report, the balance of assets between long-term bitcoin holders and new demand suggests the current market is in the early stages of a euphoria, or price discovery, phase. However, the Glassnode analysis noted that previous euphoria phases have experienced numerous price drawdowns exceeding 10%, with the majority being much deeper, with 25% plus price corrections being commonplace.

💰 Bitcoin’s Acceptance as 'Digital Gold' May Spur Demand From New Investors: Coinbase
Cryptocurrency markets dropped along with other risk assets after the Federal Reserve reiterated a cautious stance on the pace of future interest-rate cuts. Gold has outperformed, and this may benefit bitcoin (BTC), Coinbase (COIN) said in a research report on Friday. “Given the market’s recent hawkish views on rate cuts, we think gold’s performance signals an overweighting on inflation relative to Fed rate changes as well as an overall belief that certain inflation bumps could materialize more problematically than anticipated,” the report said.

💰 Skybridge Founder: Bitcoin Halving Not Priced in — BTC Has 'a Lot More' Upside

💰 Bitcoin ‘pretty unlikely’ to revisit $50K price level, says analyst
The frequency of Bitcoin reaching higher support price levels, as well as the “lack of immediate froth” in the derivatives markets, suggests that its price is unlikely to retrace down to $50,000 anytime soon, according to a crypto analyst. Senior analyst at digital asset fund UTXO Management, Dylan LeClair, explained in an analyst note on April 7 that if Bitcoin rises back into the $70,000–$75,000 price range, it will put significant pressure on short positions. “As we’ve consolidated, an increasing amount of short liquidations are building from 70-75k,” he stated.
