11k BTC. What Happens Next?
So we’ve seen $11k Bitcoin before, but this rally looks quite a bit different from the others when you consider its current 2020 vantage point.
On the macro, gold is hitting all-time highs (BTC-gold correlation is climbing again), the USD is debasing, and we're on the heels of yet another stimulus package.
Recent price/volume data suggests this rally might have legs as well...
- BTC has broken out above the descending line of resistance that has defined the market for 2 1/2 years
- Bitcoin's 1yr+ HODL wave has hit an all-time high of 63%
- P2P Bitcoin volume hit all-time highs this week
- The Bitcoin futures market is popping off alongside Bitcoin’s price, with aggregate open interest and trading volume seeing their highest numbers since March
Still not believing the hype? Maybe this article will assist your investment decisions in one way or another.

Remember Bakkt?
Like most businesses in crypto, when prices go up, the volume comes flooding in. The NYSE-owned Bitcoin exchange saw record trading volumes this week, after a month of ZERO activity on some of its products. 🤦♂️
Mike Novogratz's other project – Galaxy Digital Holdings (GLXY.V) – had a solid week as well. And if you read our "backdoor play" discussion a couple months back, you may have even benefited from it. Largely thanks to the recent market jump, GLXY is up ~75% since June.
Next up? It might be worth doing some DD on Ether Capital ($ETHC).
