Bitcoin’s price is currently trading above $58,000, reflecting a 24% drop from the yearly high of $73,800 recorded in March 2024. The cryptocurrency market has been volatile in the second half of 2024, with BTC particularly affected by global macroeconomic uncertainty.

As of September 12, 2024, BTC has surged over 1.73% in the last day, with a 3.39% spike in its market cap to $1T. The 24-hour volume also surged above 21% to $36B indicating increased activity around the token.

The first key resistance level is marked at $59,369, where the bulls come in and push to the second resistance level at $60,992. Two support levels are marked at $55,793 and $53,470, going below which can indicate an extremely bearish signal for BTC. On September 7, BTC reached its lowest value at $52,550.

BTC’s Long-Term Outlook with ETF Outflows, and Whale Activity

However, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term potential, predicting it could reach $13 million per coin within the next 21 years. Saylor maintains a bullish outlook on Bitcoin, driven by the company’s vast holdings of over 226,500 BTC, valued at $12.84 billion.

On the ETF front, BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have faced their longest streak of outflows, totaling $1.2 billion between late August and early September. However, experts argue this is a sign of healthy market growth rather than a cause for concern.

Lastly, whale activity in the BTC market has also seen a downturn, with large transactions decreasing by 33.6% since their peak in March and April 2024. The combination of ETF resilience and whale activity signals that the market may be gearing up for its next significant phase.
