Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rose above $68,000 on Wednesday, snapping a five-month losing streak.<\/p>\n
“BTC has never recorded 6 consecutive monthly declines in its 17-year history,” Compass Point analyst Ed Engel wrote in a note to clients.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin has shown more resilience than equities, as the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and gold (GC=F) both dropped since the Middle East war began on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n
Although the token seemed overdue for a relief rally, “blockchain data still indicates bearish flows which increases our confidence that BTC retests the $60k lows,” Engel wrote.<\/p>\n

The firm reaffirmed its $150,00 price target for the end of 2026.<\/p>\n The analyst pointed to investors reentering into exchange-traded funds in recent weeks, as ETFs now hold more than 6% of the supply. Digital asset treasury giant Strategy (MSTR) has also remained a strong buyer, currently holding at least 3.6% of total supply.<\/p>\n Ines Ferre is a senior business reporter for Yahoo Finance.
