Trading Recommendations for Bitcoin on January 23

[Ben Graham]

Bitcoin remains around $90,000, although active buying has not yet occurred. This raises concerns about a return to a bearish market in the near future. Ethereum is also struggling to break above $3,000, as it continues its battle for this level.

While the cryptocurrency market is trying to determine its direction, a new forecast from ARK Invest suggests that, given Bitcoin's potential dominant role, its price could reach $762,000 by 2030, accounting for about 60-70% of the entire cryptocurrency market capitalization. However, it is important to note that such a scenario depends on several factors, including further infrastructure development, regulatory clarity, and the resilience of blockchain technology.

Key drivers of growth, according to ARK Invest, will be institutional demand fueled by capital inflows into crypto ETFs, as well as the growing trend of forming corporate cryptocurrency reserves. The widespread adoption of blockchains in various industries, increased demand for DeFi services, and asset tokenization are also seen as important catalysts for growth.

The company also predicts the market capitalization of smart contracts could rise to $6 trillion, indicating recognition of the potential of blockchain platforms like Ethereum as the basis for decentralized applications and new business models. However, competition in this area is increasing, and the success of individual blockchains will depend on their ability to attract developers and users.

As for intraday strategies in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to act on significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating the long-term bull market will continue.

Regarding short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are described below.
