Bitcoin recently rose above $89,000 and approached the $90,000 mark, increasing investors' expectations of further growth.
Bitcoin's Rise and Analysts' Opinions
Amid this rise, QCP Capital analysts noted that bitcoin futures-based returns reached a 7-month peak and leveraged transactions increased. They warned investors of a possible correction, stating that such returns historically are short-lived.
Infrastructure Changes and Options Demand
With Bitcoin hovering just below the critical $90,000 level, analysts noted that the base rate at the end of November had exceeded 18%.
Bitcoin as 'Digital Gold'
According to QCP Capital experts, Bitcoin solidified the 'digital gold' narrative with a 30% increase after the US elections, while gold dropped by 5%. Analysts suggest that even a 1% reallocation from gold to Bitcoin could push BTC to $97,000.
Despite positive prospects for Bitcoin, experts warn of possible short-term corrections, especially due to high yields and increased leverage.
