The pseudonymous analyst @TheCryptoDoge is bullish on Bitcoin and believes that BTC will hit a new all-time high. He states,
Can't forget or discount how bullish BTC is. Bullish consolidation at all-time highs. It's going to trend hard soon. Prime setup, safest, most worry-free asset on the planet. There is no greater comfort than cold storage Bitcoin.
The approval of ProShares Bitcoin futures ETF triggered a rally in the asset, and Twitter is abuzz with rumors of the approval of a BTC spot ETF.
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, was recently quoted:
Once these spot ETFs roll, I think you'll see billions, then tens of billions, then hundreds of billions, then trillions of dollars flow into them.
A spot ETF approval in the coming week could further strengthen the BTC price rally.
