<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-surpasses-microstrategys-holdings/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a></strong>, today surpassed $67,000, reaching its highest levels this month, raising positive year-end expectations among <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">investors</a>. Bitcoin was at $67,120 at the time of writing. Expectations are now forming for levels of $70,000 and above.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Cryptocurrency</strong> Bitcoin’s price movements’ positive trend allowed analysts and investors to breathe a sigh of relief. An analyst using the nickname Jelle shared on X, “Bitcoin broke its downtrend. It reclaimed the previous cycle’s highs. Now it is consolidating around $67,000. It’s time to return to the 70s and beyond.”</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">At the beginning of the month, Bitcoin billionaire Arthur Hayes mentioned in a blog post that Bitcoin’s prices would go through a volatile period and then stabilize. Hayes said, “I believe Bitcoin and <strong>crypto</strong> prices will generally fall around the halving.” Hayes, who predicted that crypto markets would face tough times until May, said, “The notion that halving is positive for crypto prices has become well-established. When most market participants agree on a particular outcome, usually the opposite happens.”</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Singapore-based digital asset firm QCP Capital noted in a message to investors that 28 days had passed since BTC’s halving and the post-halving decline might be complete. QCP analysts highlighted an increasing interest in December call options, indicating a significant rise towards the end of the year.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="bitcoin-price-increase-followed-this-data">Bitcoin Price Increase Followed This Data</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Bitcoin’s price increase came after US <a href="https://newslinker.co/category/ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="exclude">data</a> showed inflation in April was higher than expected. Consumer prices were 3.4% higher in April compared to the same period last year. This indicates a slowdown compared to 3.7% in March.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Deribit</strong> has $1.6 billion in open interest in BTC futures contracts. This shows that Deribit tends to be one of the most popular exchanges for trading Bitcoin futures contracts. The total open interest for Bitcoin is currently at $20 billion, and thus, when the total open interest exceeds $30 billion, the sentiment seen during Bitcoin’s halving may become clearer.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The seemingly relieved investor sentiment appears to align with signs that inflation in the US is starting to ease. The latest BLS Consumer Price Index data also supports this situation. These data and market movements increase the expectation that Bitcoin could reach higher levels by the end of the year.</p>
