Is China About to Make Bitcoin the New Gold? 💰🚀

by

So, Bitcoin is having a bit of a meltdown, right? I mean, even with President Trump waving his magic wand and declaring that the US government won’t sell its stash of nearly 200,000 BTC, the price is still plummeting. But wait! Rumor has it that China might just jump on the Bitcoin bandwagon and create its own BTC reserve. If that happens, could we see Bitcoin soaring to a jaw-dropping $200,000? 🤔

As of today, Bitcoin is trading at a rather sad $86,221 after a tiny 2.5% drop in the last 24 hours. Ouch! 😬

Will China Launch a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve? 

Picture this: Bitcoin is ready to blast off like a rocket if China decides to launch its own Bitcoin strategic reserve. According to CNBC (because who doesn’t trust them?), countries like China and those in the Middle East are eyeing a Bitcoin buying spree. Apparently, there are whispers in the Chinese government about starting to buy BTC if the US keeps hoarding it. Talk about a game of crypto chicken! 🐔💸

Remember when China was the world’s biggest Bitcoin miner? Yeah, that was before they decided to hit the brakes in 2021. CNBC thinks it would be a piece of cake for them to set up a BTC reserve if they start mining again. Plus, it could be a sneaky way to dodge sanctions while they’re at it. Who knew Bitcoin could be so… diplomatic? 🤷‍♀️

Fun fact: China holds the second-largest stash of Bitcoin after the US, thanks to 195,000 BTC they snagged from the PlusToken crypto scam. Talk about a silver lining! 🌥️

MicroStrategy’s big cheese, Michael Saylor, once said that Trump’s move to create a US Bitcoin reserve was “a turning point in the financial and geopolitical landscape of the 21st century.” No pressure, right? 😅

If more countries decide to jump on the Bitcoin train, we might just see BTC racing towards an all-time high, and who knows, maybe even $200K! 🚂💨

Analyst Maps Bitcoin Path to $200K 

Currently, Bitcoin is feeling a bit under the weather, thanks to a lack of demand in the crypto market. But hold your horses! Analyst MerlijinTrader believes Bitcoin could hit that elusive $200K mark this year if it plays its cards right. 🃏

In his crystal ball prediction, he noted that BTC is following the same cycle as in 2017 and 2022. So, despite the recent hiccup, if the bullish vibes come back, we could see Bitcoin skyrocketing towards $200,000. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Key Levels to Watch in Bitcoin Price

Now, before we get too excited, let’s not forget that Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart is still showing some bearish trends. The RSI is hanging out below 50, which means sellers are still calling the shots. But wait! An ascending triangle pattern is hinting that the bulls might just make a comeback. 🐂

For Bitcoin to get back on its feet and reclaim levels above $90,000, we need a surge in demand. Right now, the volume profile bars are saying, “Nah, we’re not buying,” which could put a damper on any price action. 😒

We definitely need a bullish catalyst to help Bitcoin break past that pesky $90,000 psychological barrier. Plans for a Bitcoin reserve by the US, China, and other countries could be just what the doctor ordered, but for now, the short-term sentiment is looking a bit gloomy. 🌧️
