Conversation with Glassnode Analyst: Bitcoin Bull Market Has Restarted, Current Market Still in 'Sell on Rally' Phase
Bitcoin analyst Checkmate believes the cryptocurrency market is now in a bull phase following a likely capitulation event in June, with an 80% probability the $60,000 low marked the bottom. However, he expects a prolonged consolidation period, similar to past cycles. Key resistance levels are identified at $78,000 (short-term cost basis), $85,000 (a critical supply zone and 200-day moving average), and $95,000. Sustained price appreciation requires consistent capital inflows, with institutions expected to enter more aggressively if Bitcoin surpasses $100,000.
The discussion extends to macroeconomics, where rising global bond yields signal a loss of trust in government fiscal management. Checkmate argues this reflects a broader monetary regime change, where Bitcoin and gold will serve as primary stores of value outside the traditional system, while fiat currencies like the USD act as mediums of exchange.
Finally, Checkmate criticizes proposed Australian capital gains tax reforms, calling them a "wealth grab." The plan to replace a 50% discount for assets held over a year with inflation indexing based on low CPI rates would drastically increase effective tax rates, punishing savers and investors trying to overcome the country's severe housing affordability crisis. He urges public opposition to prevent such policies from spreading globally.
