ChainCatcher news, Bitget Research Institute's chief analyst Ryan Lee stated that from a technical perspective, Bitcoin is approaching the formation of a "golden cross" pattern, which is expected to initiate a new upward trend. This signal is highly similar to the trend of Bitcoin rising from $70,000 to $100,000 by the end of 2024, with a short-term target range of $110,000 to $125,000.From a medium-term trend perspective, the outlook is optimistic. Driven by the inflow of spot ETF funds, tightening supply after the halving, and continuous institutional entry, Bitcoin is expected to reach between $112,000 and $180,000 within the year. Regarding Ethereum, if ETH-related ETFs gain more attention and the "Pectra" upgrade makes substantial progress in L2 expansion, its price is expected to reach between $3,900 and $6,900.Investors should also be aware of the associated risks. In the short term, if there is a large-scale profit-taking, Bitcoin may pull back to the $90,000–$95,000 range, and Ethereum may also drop to $1,800. It is recommended that investors continue to monitor key indicators such as U.S. Treasury yields, ETF fund inflows, and net flows on exchanges to assess the sustainability of market trends.
