Forecast Trend Report by Period
Bitcoin and Ether are extending gains alongside a rebound in global risk assets, with demand holding up without signs of excessive leverage in what analysts describe as a “Goldilocks” phase.
CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency-focused media outlet, reported on June 14 that funding rates for Bitcoin and Ether remained positive without entering overheated territory. That points to continued healthy demand behind the rally.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) have risen about 5% and 9%, respectively, over the past 24 hours. The gains come as rebounding US stocks and falling oil prices create a more supportive backdrop for risk assets.
Still, participation across the broader market remains limited. Outside some altcoins and meme coins, small- and mid-cap tokens have yet to establish a clear trend. Only about half of the top 100 coins are trading above their 50-day moving averages.
Analysts say further gains will require Bitcoin to hold key price levels. Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro, said Bitcoin could open a path to $87,000 to $90,000 if it settles in the $73,000 to $75,000 range.
A separate analysis found that the advance could continue if Bitcoin trades sideways in that range without excessive leverage. A rapid reversal, however, would suggest the move was driven by short-term positioning.
