Bitcoin has just wrapped up an unprecedented month, skyrocketing by over $30,000 in November and signalling a fresh wave of optimism in the market. As we anticipate the coming months leading into 2025, investors are keen to know if Bitcoin can maintain this momentum. With a favourable macroeconomic climate, historical patterns, and on-chain data, let’s delve into the ongoing developments and their potential implications for the future.
Unprecedented Performance in November
In 2024, November was a watershed moment for Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency’s value shot up from about $67,000 to nearly $100,000, marking an approximately 50% surge from peak to trough. This unprecedented rise in value made it the best-performing month in terms of dollar increase, rewarding those who held on to their Bitcoins amid months of consolidation following Bitcoin’s all-time high of $74,000 earlier in the year.
Historically, the fourth quarter is known to be the strongest for Bitcoin, with November often emerging as the star performer. December, which has also performed well in previous bullish cycles, offers a positive outlook. However, a short-term cooling effect could be expected following every rally.
The Dollar, Global Liquidity and Their Impact
Interestingly, Bitcoin’s surge happened amidst a strengthening U.S. Dollar Strength Index (DXY), a situation that usually sees Bitcoin underperforming. Traditionally, Bitcoin and the DXY have shared an inverse relationship: a strong dollar weakens Bitcoin and vice versa.
Similarly, the Global M2 money supply, another key indicator, has recently shown a slight contraction. Bitcoin has generally correlated positively with global liquidity, so its current performance goes against expectations. If liquidity conditions improve over the next months, it could serve as a significant boost for Bitcoin’s price.
Comparisons with Past Bullish Cycles
Bitcoin’s current trajectory bears a striking resemblance to past bullish markets, especially the 2016-2017 cycle. This cycle started with gradual price increases before critical resistance levels were broken, leading to a phase of exponential growth.
In 2017, Bitcoin’s price broke out from a significant technical level of around $1,000, resulting in a parabolic rally that peaked at $20,000, a 20-fold increase. Similarly, the 2020-2021 cycle witnessed Bitcoin rise from $20,000 to nearly $70,000 after a breakthrough above the crucial Year-on-Year Performance threshold.
Institutional Adoption and Accumulation
A key component bolstering Bitcoin’s strength is the ongoing accumulation by institutions. Bitcoin ETFs are adding billions of dollars worth of BTC to their holdings, and companies like MicroStrategy have doubled down on their Bitcoin strategy, now holding close to 400,000 BTC. Even with BTC rallying to new all-time highs, ‘smart money’ is scrambling to accumulate as much as possible to ensure they’re not left behind.
This institutional demand signifies growing confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, even in volatile market conditions. Such accumulation also tightens the available supply, creating upward pressure on prices as demand increases.
Conclusion
While December has traditionally been a strong month for Bitcoin, short-term volatility could temper gains as the market digests November’s sharp rally. However, given the aggressive accumulation by institutional participants, anything is possible.
In the long term, the outlook remains extremely bullish. The key level to watch is $100,000 as the next major milestone. If breached, it could set the stage for a much larger rally in 2025. Bitcoin appears to be entering one of its most thrilling phases, with the stars seemingly aligning across macroeconomic, technical, and on-chain metrics.
