- BlackRock’s Bitcoin accumulation signals an ideal entry point for market players.
- New metrics highlight a possible bullish market for Bitcoin in the near term.
Blackrock, a global investment provider, advisory, and risk management solutions firm, is reportedly looking to stack up its Bitcoin holdings.
As noted by popular cryptocurrency proponent David Gokhshtein, BlackRock is not only back to purchasing Bitcoin but also securing more Ethereum (ETH).
The downside from this move, as Gokhshtein reveals, is that market players might have to secure both assets at a higher price, seeing as the current market sentiment is bearish, and has caused key players to collectively exit.
His tweet indicates his bullish stance on the aforementioned cryptocurrency assets. Additionally, BlackRock’s crypto acquisition might imply that other investment firms, and institutional players are also securing more Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
However, the broader cryptocurrency market is largely bullish for Bitcoin, with analyst Michaël Van De Poppe predicting that Bitcoin is looking to tap $17,000.
Although more eyes are focused on $16,500, as a possible new high for BTC, the analyst insists that the big bull has the capacity to reclaim previous support of $16,900.
#Bitcoin still consolidating beneath support here.
Everyone focuses on $16.5K for a potential long, but I think we might be reclaiming the previous support today for support again ($16.9K). pic.twitter.com/v33kjtwTSV

On the other hand, DaanCrypto, another notable analyst, predicts a more sideways move for Bitcoin, highlighting that the anticipated upswings and downswings are only temporary.
Explaining where he sees Bitcoin headed. In a tweet he explained:
BTC is In a very tight range here with tons of untapped highs and lows. I think all these levels will get taken out and that the initial move will likely become a fakeout only to retrace and take the other side. Would definitely be a classic Bitcoin move.
Bitcoin accumulation increases, signaling a possible cycle bottom
Meanwhile, new market metrics indicate that accumulation for bitcoin has resurfaced, for the first time since the bears hit the market this year.
As reported by CryptoQuant, “the percentage of UTXO volume estimated to have been bought 1 week to 1 month increased sharply for the first time in this bear market.” Historically, the same pattern has been spotted twice during a bear market.
The analyst Dan Lim, reckoned that even if bull markets didn’t pick up immediately, the movement pattern emerged from, was “the bottom from a cycle perspective.”
At the time of this report, Bitcoin is green, with jeans from the past 24 hours. Sitting at a price of $16,841, the last 1 hr shows a bullish recovery that might build up enough momentum to push Bitcoin to $6,900 or higher.
The next 24 hours are extremely crucial for Bitcoin, and other altcoins, which also happen to be making a mild turnaround.
