“If Bitcoin does begin to fade, if it could possibly’t break by means of this [resistance around $70,000], if it begins to fade, then it’ll begin to present extra of these 2019 similarities… The factor that hasn’t essentially run its course is that when Bitcoin broke out [in 2019], we had already had 75 foundation factors of fee cuts and QE (quantitative easing).

Cowen suggests it could take one other Fed fee reduce to push Bitcoin past the resistance stage.
“If for no matter purpose Bitcoin will get rejected and folks marvel what the hell is occurring, then I believe you simply come again to this and say, Properly, possibly we want one other fee reduce and possibly we want QE with the intention to get that larger excessive.”
Bitcoin is buying and selling for $66,948 at time of writing, down 2.4% within the final 24 hours.
Searching for the remainder of the 12 months, Cowen tells his 869,100 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin’s dominance (BTC.D) could hit 60% in lower than three months. BTC.D tracks the share of the overall crypto market cap that belongs to Bitcoin.
“After the primary fee reduce, I mentioned BTC dominance would spike to 59%, then have a pullback, then a last gradual grind to 60% earlier than EOY (finish of the 12 months). I believe this path remains to be on observe. BTC dominance to 60% earlier than EOY.”

The analyst can be carefully watching the US Greenback Index (DXY), a benchmark of the worth of the US greenback in comparison with a basket of different broadly traded world currencies.
A strengthening DXY could recommend elevated promoting strain on Bitcoin and different digital belongings as buyers could transfer their cash into the greenback.
“One other week, and DXY continues to move larger. So many have been satisfied that DXY was going to crash a number of weeks in the past. I believe it retains shifting up by means of EOY, then drops in 2025.”
