Bitcoin Continues to Set Records. Why Prices Can Keep Going Higher.
David Grider, lead digital strategist at Fundstrat, said Bitcoin’s positive momentum is being fueled by institutions and corporations purchasing more of the asset and retail demand driven by the latest wave of stimulus checks, among other factors. He raised his six- to- 12-month target on Bitcoin to $40,000, up from his prior target of $25,000.
“Conditions are in place for a continued rally in cryptocurrency prices over the course of the next year,” Grider wrote. “We remain bullish and are raising our Bitcoin price target from $25,000 to $40,000, while again noting that we recommend investors seeking to add exposure should favor pull backs given the recent run and corresponding higher valuations.”
Given the recent run, some might look to take profits, Grider noted, which could slow or reverse the rally. Other bumps may be ahead, such as potential regulatory actions and other new cryptocurrencies.
“We wouldn’t view these events as long-term negatives for Bitcoin, but if such events unfold, they may negatively impact broader market sentiment and prices,” Grider added.
While Bitcoin certainly has its skeptics, others have also raised their price targets for the cryptocurrency. Citing similar catalysts, ARK Investment Management CEO Catherine Wood in November said that Bitcoin prices could eventually climb to $500,000.
