Matt Crosby, Research Director at Look Into Bitcoin, suggests that the current stagnant price movement of Bitcoin indicates a period of consolidation. He compares this phase to a compressed spring, which is accumulating potential energy for a future breakout.

Crosby points to several factors that support his outlook for a significant upward move. These include inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, macroeconomic data, on-chain supply and demand metrics, and the state of the derivatives market.

The analysis also covers various market indicators, such as global M2 money supply, mining difficulty, and the behavior of long-term holders compared to previous cycles. Crosby notes that if 1% of global capital flows into Bitcoin, the price could reach $275 000.
