The crypto market is buzzing with renewed energy, driven by the ongoing Bitcoin Conference 2024 and the excitement surrounding Ethereum ETFs. Investors are showing increased interest in digital assets, pushing Bitcoin and Ethereum prices upward.
Bitcoin Conference 2024 Highlights
The Bitcoin Conference 2024 has significantly influenced the recent market surge, especially with former President Donald Trump’s speech. David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, speculates that Bitcoin could reach new highs during Trump’s speech, where he might advocate for Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for the U.S. government. Additionally, Robert Mitchnick from BlackRock highlighted the firm’s strong preference for Bitcoin and Ethereum among its clients, with no immediate plans to expand their crypto ETF offerings beyond these major assets.
Additional interesting news from the conference, was Edward Snowden bold declaration "We are winning ladies and gentlemen", highlighting that the battle between Bitcoin and regulators is slowly turning in favor of fans of digital assets. His announcement came across as indicative of the general attitude among Bitcoin fans and the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies backing it up with his comment that since the last Bitcoin conference, the digital assets industry saw numerous ETFs approvals, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
All of the events, speeches, announcements are serving the purpose of the conference of increasing the confidence in Bitcoin and digital assets and highlighting the bright future it has laid ahead, promoting more investments and by that pushing the crypto market up, just like what is happening now.
Bitcoin Price Analysis vs Ethereum Price Analysis
Bitcoin’s daily chart shows a rise in demand near the key support level of the 100-day moving average, leading to a significant rebound. However, Bitcoin faces resistance between $67,000 and $68,300, with potential to move towards the all-time high range of $72,000 and beyond to $100,000 if it surpasses this resistance. 
In contrast, the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs has increased buying interest, with Ethereum’s price consolidating above the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. A breakout above $3,400 could push Ethereum’s price to $3,700, continuing its bullish trend.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
Bitcoin price has rebounded by 8% from its recent dip, now trading above $68,000. At the Bitcoin Conference, Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy shared an optimistic long-term forecast for Bitcoin, predicting its value could reach $13 million per coin by 2045 despite a slowdown in its annual growth rate. MicroStrategy's substantial Bitcoin holdings, currently valued at around $15 billion, bolster this bullish outlook. The hash ribbons indicator, signaling a buy, suggests further positive movement for Bitcoin price in the near term.
And with all the optimism surging across the crypto market with the ongoing Bitcoin Conference, predictions for Bitcoin price are highly interesting for traders, especially for the impact Bitcoin could have on the crypto market and all other altcoins. With future expectations targeting very high prices for Bitcoin, the short term remains more crucial. So, as previously predicted, the first step for Bitcoin price would be to break the resistance level of $69K. And the next step would be the surpass the $71K. With these steps accomplished, Bitcoin would be on its way for a new all-time high. So monitoring both these resistance levels would be the most important.
As for the downtrend support levels to maintain, it would be first, to drop back below $67K mark and second would be below $65K. If these support levels were ever breached, Bitcoin price could drop back to below $60K, but it is highly unlikely to happen with all the recent news and regulations backing up the digital currency and boosting it for a surge and not a drop.
