Donald Trump

Bitcoin

Former United States President Donald Trump went all in on Bitcoin&nbsp;in his latest keynote at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, promising voters to make the United States “the crypto capital of the world.” 
He will do so by creating a national Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>)&nbsp;“stockpile” and, in turn, making the cryptocurrency a “permanent national asset.”
Naturally, Trump’s electoral promises have triggered bullish responses from top crypto analysts, with some predicting BTC’s price will grow tenfold in the future.

One of the boldest and most bullish&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/political-undertones-trump-bitcoin-2024-nashville">outlooks for Bitcoin after Trump’s speech</a> comes from independent market analyst Daan de Rover.
The chartist, who goes by the moniker “Crypto Rover” on X, <a href="https://x.com/rovercrc/status/1817500495432282218" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">expects</a> BTC’s price to cross $800,000 if the former US president is elected once again in November, particularly since Trump also&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/wallstreetbets/status/1817293165902049709" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">stated</a>&nbsp;that Bitcoin may overtake gold’s market capitalization in the future.
“If this would happen, BTC would be valued at $813,054,” Rover said in a tweet on July 28.

Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming adds to the bullish outlook. She presented a legislative proposal to establish an official US strategic reserve of 1 million BTC over the next five years, amounting to almost 5% of the total BTC supply of 21 million tokens. Lummis said:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “[Bitcoin] will be held for a minimum of 20 years and can be used for one purpose: Reduce our debt.”
</blockquote>

The US government already holds 210,000 BTC worth over $14.26 billion. Trump has promised to allocate those holdings to the US Treasury and said that, if elected,&nbsp;his government&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/1817315410221355397" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">will never dump them</a>.
<h2 data-ct-non-breakable="true" id="bitcoin-price-will-reach-100k-analyst">Bitcoin price will reach $100K — Analyst</h2>
Bitcoin <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-sticks-68k-market-ignores-200k-btc-us-election">sold off following Trump’s speech</a> and has since stabilized around the $67,500–68,000 range. But that has not refrained some analysts, such as Daan Crypto Traders and Tanaka, from making upside predictions toward $100,000.

“In the long term, I’m fully optimistic about BTC reaching $100k and ETH reaching $8-10k,” Kanaka said, noting that the US-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) funds will gradually “attract more large institutional investors” to the Bitcoin market.

As of July 26, US Bitcoin ETFs <a href="https://farside.co.uk/?p=997" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">managed</a> $17.58 billion in assets, the highest to date. That is also up from $14.65 billion at the start of July, reflecting a surge in interest in the days leading up to Trump’s keynote.

Meanwhile, analyst Cryptomist&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/Thecryptomist/status/1817444226151432627" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">anticipates</a>&nbsp;that the BTC price will reach $100,000, based on an ascending channel pattern.
<h2 data-ct-non-breakable="true" id="rising-wedge-bitcoin-s-next-target-is-74k">Rising wedge: Bitcoin’s next target is $74K</h2>
Bitcoin’s volatile price moves are occurring inside BTC’s prevailing rising wedge pattern, indicating a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-analysts-74k-btc-price-next-stop">rally toward $74,000</a> by August. This level, up 9.30% from the current price levels, is where the wedge’s two trendlines converge.

Conversely, a decisive breakdown below the wedge's lower trendline, depending on the breakdown point, will risk a correction toward the $60,000–66,000 range. That is primarily because of how rising wedge breakdowns are calculated: by measuring the maximum distance between the two trendlines and subtracting the outcome from the breakdown point.
