What’s ahead for Bitcoin, crypto: Expert opinions

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder, and CEO of Pi42 feels cautiously optimistic that the crypto market is finding its footing.

According to Riya Sehgal, Research Analyst at Delta Exchange, Bitcoin’s rebound above $107,000 reflects robust market confidence, especially as it continues to hold above the key short-term holder realized price of $98,000.

“This level not only serves as psychological support but also reinforces the bullish momentum building around BTC. Current consolidation near $107,400–$108,000 sets up a potential breakout toward $110,000 and $112,000. With the US Dollar Index hitting a multi-year low, Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed as a resilient high-growth asset in times of macroeconomic uncertainty,” she noted.

Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO of Mudrex concurred, noting that institutional activity continues to drive price action, with Bitcoin ETFs recording the largest single-day inflow for June with $588.6 million. “This marks 11 straight days of net positive flows, the longest streak since December 2024. However, with US GDP and jobless claims data due later today, a shift in market momentum is likely. Bitcoin now faces resistance at $108,700, while support has moved higher to $106,400, maintaining the bullish structure,” he added.

On Ethereum, Sehgal said that it has posted 15 per cent recovery from recent lows, and is eyeing a breakout past the $2,550 resistance zone.

CoinDCX research team noted that the biggest gainers were altcoins such as Pi, that surged by over 8 per cent, followed by Kaspa at 4.61 per cent and Bitcoin Cash at 3.76 per cent. The biggest loser was Sei, which plunged over 10 per cent, followed by Fartcoin at 9.49 per cent and Stacks and Curve DAO Token at over 8 per cent each, it added. “The overall market trend remains largely stable, preparing for the next bullish wave,” it said.
