Renowned analyst Benjamin Cowen asserts that Bitcoin’s (BTC) price movements may reflect the first 13 months of the Nasdaq exchange-traded fund (ETF) Invesco QQQ, which began approximately 26 years ago. Cowen noted that the QQQ ETF experienced a 150% increase within a year of its launch, reaching its peak shortly thereafter.
Impact of QQQ ETF on Bitcoin
The QQQ ETF tracks the performance of the top 100 companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Cowen indicated that Bitcoin $92,431, approaching the one-year anniversary of its spot Bitcoin ETF launch, could exhibit similar price patterns. However, he cautioned that the exact replication of this trend is unlikely.
Cowen highlighted that the QQQ ETF surged from $48 to $120 over approximately 54 weeks after its 1999 launch. Similarly, he pointed out that Bitcoin’s spot ETF launch price was around $48,000, suggesting it might trend toward that level. He emphasized that after reaching $120, the QQQ ETF experienced a significant decline.
Current Status of Bitcoin
Following macroeconomic fluctuations, Bitcoin’s price dropped to $92,500, creating a challenging environment for altcoin investors. Many cryptocurrencies faced double-digit declines, reminiscent of last year’s market conditions. The approval of the ETF, along with the influence of crypto-friendly figures, will reveal its true impact on the market.
This potential volatility in the Bitcoin market could be crucial for investors, emphasizing the need to manage risks and closely monitor market trends. Cowen’s analyses provide significant insights into Bitcoin’s future price movements.
