In a recent tweet, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe shared his insights on the current state of Bitcoin, signaling a bullish trend in the market.

Similarly, Glassnode, a prominent blockchain data analytics platform, has given a similar hint about the beginning of a bull market,  showcasing a significant increase in the MVRV ratio to 2.06. In simple terms, this range points to a risky period, usually seen at the beginning of bull markets.

As indicated by the MVRV ratio, long-term investors are now witnessing meaningful profitability. This pattern is commonly observed in the early stages of bull markets.

ETFs Catalyst Behind BTC Surge

This optimistic outlook aligns with his previous predictions, and he anticipates further upward momentum as Bitcoin continues its trajectory. 

Van de Poppe’s insights extend beyond short-term gains. He attributes the potential for Bitcoin to surpass $250,000 to significant inflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The inflow on the #Bitcoin ETF’s are +$1.8B in the first few weeks.

This is higher if you reduce the outflow of Grayscale by the forced liquidations of FTX.

According to his analysis, the Bitcoin ETFs have witnessed substantial inflows, exceeding $1.8 billion in the first few weeks. Van de Poppe acknowledges that this figure could be even higher if adjustments are made for the outflows from Grayscale, which faced forced liquidations on FTX. 

This prediction suggests that institutional investment through ETFs could be a key driver for Bitcoin’s substantial growth in the coming months.
