The Bitcoin market continues to dance around the $70,000 level. As we are trying to sort out where we are going next. Prominent crypto trader “Crypto Tony” has shared a crucial piece of advice for the crypto community.
As Bitcoin approaches its all-time high (ATH), Tony warns that this milestone could momentarily shift investor focus back to Bitcoin, potentially setting back altcoins in the short term.
Bitcoin To breaks the ATH
Bitcoin’s performance often dictates the broader cryptocurrency market’s trends. With Bitcoin price nearing its ATH, there’s a growing expectation of renewed investor interest and capital flow towards BTC. Yesterday, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a total net inflow of $154 million. Notably, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) ETF experienced an outflow of $16.0914 million.
Additionally, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) witnessed a single-day inflow of $91.9527 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC ETF saw an inflow of $74.572 million. Ark Invest’s ARKB also recorded an inflow of $3 million on the same day.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s dominance is expected to surge, currently hovering at 54.12%, reflecting a slight decrease in the Sentiment. This focus could temporarily overshadow altcoins, leading to potential setbacks for growing digital assets as attention shifted back to Bitcoin.
Caution Advised For Altcoin
Crypto Tony’s tweet emphasizes the need for caution among altcoin investors during this period. Historically, significant movements in Bitcoin’s price can create volatility in the altcoin market. As Bitcoin garners more attention, altcoins might experience a dip in buying pressure and price corrections.
Bitcoin Aim For $150k
Adding to the anticipation, Geoff Kendrick, Head of EM FX Research at Standard Chartered, offers a bullish prediction for Bitcoin. Kendrick foresees a breakout above the previous ATH, projecting Bitcoin’s price to surge to approximately $73,798.

kendrick highlights the potential impact of Ethereum Spot ETF approval by the SEC on Bitcoin’s price dynamics. He repeats his bullish prediction, anticipating Bitcoin to reach $150,000 by 2024 and a staggering $200,000 by 2025.
While Bitcoin’s rise may temporarily impact altcoins, maintaining a balanced perspective and strategy can help navigate these fluctuations.
