The Bitcoin price dropped by 1.5% over the last 24 hours to trade for $61,492 as of 12:45 a.m. EST time on trading volume that plunged 35%.
The dominant theme in the market is inflows into spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the main driver behind BTC’s 46% rally in a month.
And Bitwise, one of the issuers of the investment products, says Bitcoin ETFs are on the cusp of a new and bigger wave of capital inflows.
Bitwise CIO On Bitcoin Price Targets
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan told CNBC that the first wave of Bitcoin ETF interest has come mainly from retail, hedge funds, and independent financial advisors.
The next wave will be driven by institutional players, he said, noting that institutions from Morgan Stanley to Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo are now aiming to offer Bitcoin ETF products to their huge institutional client bases.

Hougan added that right now there is too much demand for Bitcoin and not enough supply, a view shared by MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor.

With institutional investors finally getting easy access to Bitcoin investments, Hougan says that Bitcoin ETFs have triggered a “new era of price discovery” for the king of cryptos,
$BTC is in price discovery phase. Maybe really for the first time since it’s been an asset as now the bulk of US wealth has easy access. Hard to predict where we stop.

Hougan said the next wave of institutional interest could push Bitcoin’s price “substantially higher.” Potentially, it could surpass Bitwise’s initial 2024 forecast of $80,000, reaching anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 or even higher, he said.
BTC Market Outlook As Hougan Anticipates A New Era Of Bitcoin Price Discovery
The Bitcoin price is trading with a bullish bias despite the Wednesday correction. The level to beat remains the mean threshold of the supply barrier between $62,905 and $68,212, at $65,664. With the market still favoring he upside, the Bitcoin price could have another go at this supplier congestion zone. A break and close above the midline would pave the way for extended gains, giving BTC a chance to retake its all-time high of $69,000.
Looking at the Relative Strength Index (RSI), BTC is already massively overbought at 81. However, until the RSI closes below the 70 midline, the king of crypto is not ripe for selling. The RSI inclination to the north suggests rising buyer momentum, which could propel BTC further north.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is also above its signal line (orange band), accentuating the bullish thesis. Its histogram bars flashing green, similar to those of the Awesome Oscillator, solidify the presence of the bulls in the market.

On the other hand, enhanced seller momentum could see the Bitcoin price extend the fall below the $60,000 psychological level. A breakdown of this threshold could see BTC roll over to $55,000, or worse, dwindle to $50,000.
However, as the Bitcoin price confronts a formidable supply barrier, investors might want to consider diversifying some of their gains into a new ICO, GBTC, which offers greater upside potential.
