Bitcoin saw an incredible month in February, adding over $18,000 to its value in a single month. This outperformance has now carried on into the month of March, which has seen the Bitcoin price cross the $65,000 mark for the first time since 2021. As BTC trades in the green, expectations remain that the performance will continue.
Bitcoin Shows Strong Fundamentals
In a new report shared with NewsBTC via email, the head of research at Matrixport, Markus Thielen, put forward that the Bitcoin price was headed for another all-time high this week. This report highlighted the BTC price performance over the last year, as well as in February, in which the price rose a total of $18,615 in a single month. Additionally, the analyst pointed out that despite the slowdown in Bitcoin Spot ETFs that were seen toward the end of February, it hasn’t affected BTC’s bullishness by much.
The crypto analyst explains that institutional buying is not just happening in the United States either. There has also been a large uptick in buying volume across other countries, including the likes of Korea where volumes have reached near $8 billion for five consecutive days. Interestingly, the buying is not just limited to Bitcoin either as there are also inflows into altcoins and meme coins.
Furthermore, the anticipation of Hong Kong launching its own Spot Bitcoin ETF, as well as BlackRock taking the plunge and launching a Bitcoin ETF in Brazil, also proves that there is a lot of demand. So despite the decreased inflows that were seen last week, Thielen explains that if Grayscale’s outflows keep dropping, reaching between $0-$100 million, then he expects further rally for the Bitcoin price.
Thielen also pointed out that the Untied States debt is growing exponentially and Bitcoin now offers better macro upside compared to gold. This plays into the bullish potential of BTC going forth.
“ Previously we have shown that 30-40% of the Bitcoin ETF inflows appear to come out of Gold ETFs and with $80bn of assets-under-management, those re-allocation flows can continue. We have also shown numerous times that Bitcoin has become a better macro asset than Gold as Bitcoin’s reaction function towards changes in interest rate expectations, announcement of wars/conflicts, etc., has become superior (we backtested this).”
