Nonetheless, Bitcoin price is already in a macro bull run, which is expected to continue in the coming months. According to veteran trader Peter Brandt, Bitcoin price is aiming for $134,052 in the short term and is likely to reach $327k in mid-2025.

Factors that are Driving Bullish Sentiments 

As Coinpedia has severally stated, Bitcoin price has significantly benefited from the victory of Donald Trump, and other pro-crypto leaders in the United States. Additionally, the ongoing shift in the global economic outlook, triggered by the U.S. Fed rate cuts, has significantly favored the ongoing crypto bullish outlook.

Furthermore, more institutional investors have gone all in on Bitcoin with short-term holders (STH) already aggressively accumulating.

According to the latest market data, the US spot Bitcoin ETF issuers have registered more than $7.9 billion in net cash flow in the past four weeks.
