Bitcoin is poised for a breakout near its all-time highs, despite steady institutional interest. This potential surge is fueled by macroeconomic factors and technical innovations like the Lightning Network. While consolidation occurs, Bitcoin’s market dynamics are shaping up to favor a shift in capital allocation towards altcoins. Analysts believe this change could signal emerging trends in cryptocurrency investment strategies. Key drivers include institutional inflows from ETFs and strategic reserves held by corporate treasuries, along with positive developments from Layer-1 protocols like the Lightning Network and SegWit upgrades. The Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate adjustments offer further opportunities for risk assets like Bitcoin.
