12:52 ET - Bitcoin is trading near $59,000, a level last seen in 2024. While expectations for a more hawkish Federal Reserve potentially raising interest rates multiple times this year have kept bitcoin underwater, it's not a position unfamiliar to longer-term holders. Matt Mena with 21shares points to a high score on Glassnode's accumulation trend score, last seen both in 2022 in the depths of FTX-related selling and 2020's Covid-era market crash. "Bitcoin went on to 36x and 8x respectively from those lows," says Mena. If upcoming reports from the government come in softer than anticipated, then Mena sees a pathway for bitcoin to rise back up to around $67,000, with further upside from there if a lasting resolution to the U.S.-Iran conflict.
