Federal Reserve Influence

Regulatory Factors and Predictions
Further analysis indicates that regulatory factors and spot ETF inflows are shaping Bitcoin’s trajectory. Fadi Aboualfa, Head of Research, Copper, remarked,
“Since spot ETFs launched, Bitcoin has moved in repeatable mini-cycles where it pulls back to its cost basis and then rebounds by around 70%. With BTC now trading near its $84,000 cost basis, this pattern suggests a move north of $140,000 in the next 180 days.”Historical patterns show potential moves above $140,000, aligning with predicted rebound cycles following previous cost-basis corrections.
