Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has seen significant gains, closing seven consecutive months in the green for the first time. Analysts are optimistic about Bitcoin's bullish momentum, anticipating a $150,000 peak.
What Happened: MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor tweeted that "Bitcoin is better" as gold reached all-time highs.
MicroStrategy owns 214,246 Bitcoins.
Analysts point to the upcoming quarterly expiry of Bitcoin and Ethereum option contracts on Deribit, which could lead to price volatility. Contracts worth $9.5 billion (Bitcoin) and $5.7 billion (Ethereum) will settle on Friday, March 29.
Why It Matters: Bitcoin prices briefly breached the $71,400 mark in Thursday trading. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is changing hands at $70,687, up 3% in the past 24 hours. Pseudonymous trader Altcoin Sherpa tweeted:
$BTC: Next level up, let's see the reactions at the highs

CoinGlass data shows a 3.2% increase in open interest to 38.9 billion. In the past four hours, liquidations totalled 4.72 million, with $4.01 million in long positions, indicating strong bullish sentiment.
Crypto trader Jelle states that Bitcoin is 4% away from a "huge breakout."
He points to previous breakouts from all-time highs leading to "3 weeks of rapid expansion, more than doubling prices in the process."
#Bitcoin is less than 4% away from a huge breakout!
The previous all-time high breakouts (April 2017, and December 2020) both led to 3 weeks of rapid expansion, more than doubling prices in the process.
If this pattern repeats — we'd push to ±$150,000 in less than a month

Another crypto analyst, Benjamin Cowen, measured the market cycles from peak to peak, using April 2021 as the top instead of November 2021.
With the Bitcoin halving event on the horizon and the significant 16% gains in Bitcoin prices over the past month, traders are keen to explore how to buy spot Bitcoin ETFs.
These topics are expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga's upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.

比特幣(加密貨幣:BTC)大幅上漲,首次連續七個月收盤上漲。分析師對比特幣的看漲勢頭持樂觀態度,預計將達到15萬美元的峯值。
發生了什麼:微策略董事長邁克爾·塞勒在推特上說,隨着黃金創下歷史新高,“比特幣更好”。
MicroStrategy 擁有 214,246 個比特幣。
分析師指出,Deribit上的比特幣和以太坊期權合約即將到期,這可能會導致價格波動。價值95億美元(比特幣)和57億美元(以太坊)的合約將於3月29日星期五結算。
爲何重要:比特幣價格在週四的交易中短暫突破了71,400美元大關。在撰寫本文時,比特幣的易手價格爲70,687美元,在過去24小時內上漲了3%。化名交易員 Altcoin Sherpa 在推特上說:
$BTC:下一個級別向上,讓我們看看高點的反應

CoinGlass的數據顯示,未平倉合約增長了3.2%,達到389億美元。在過去的四個小時中,清算總額爲472萬澳元,多頭頭寸爲401萬美元,顯示出強烈的看漲情緒。
加密貨幣交易員傑勒表示,比特幣距離 “巨大突破” 還有4%的距離。
他指出,此前曾突破歷史新高,導致 “3周的快速擴張,在此過程中價格翻了一番多”。
#Bitcoin 距離大規模突破還有不到 4% 的距離!
之前的歷史新高(2017年4月和2020年12月)均導致了爲期3周的快速擴張,在此過程中價格翻了一番多。
如果這種模式重演,我們將在不到一個月的時間內推高至±150,000美元

另一位加密分析師本傑明·考恩以2021年4月而不是2021年11月爲最高點,衡量了從高峰到峯值的市場週期。
隨着比特幣減半事件的臨近以及過去一個月比特幣價格大幅上漲16%,交易者熱衷於探索如何購買現貨比特幣ETF。
預計將在11月19日Benzinga即將舉行的數字資產未來活動中對這些話題進行深入探討。
