BTCUSD

Fred Krueger, a seasoned Bitcoin trader, predicts Bitcoin will reach its all-time high of $64,800 within the next 60 days, before the halving event. This bullish outlook is based on strong institutional interest, particularly from the 'New9' funds, and a decrease in selling pressure from the GBTC unlock. Spot ETFs have also significantly contributed by purchasing 175,000 Bitcoin in 18 trading days. Krueger anticipates an additional $4-$6 billion investment from the 'New9', potentially pushing Bitcoin past its ATH before the halving, challenging the bearish 'Turtle' model.
