I will be resuming tomorrow with my more traditional a bit more advanced content :)

In the first six months of 2021, Bitcoin was up 20% ($28890 to $35,060) and Ethereum was up 208% ($737 to $2276). ETH grew in value 10x faster than BTC.

What do you think will happen in the 2nd Half of 2021?

What's your end of year price prediction for BTC and ETH?

Willy Woo has written a bullish note on Bitcoin on-chain signals today indicating his belief we have bottomed and fundamentals show we are heading upwards in the next few months. Here are some excerpts from his letter.

⁃ The bull market is intact with user growth continuing to climb higher. Macro indicators continue bullish.
⁃ Re-accumulation and recovery is still in play and is indeed strengthening, thereby creating a classic price to fundamentals divergence.
⁃ Long term investors are quietly absorbing coins unnoticed by the market. I expect this supply shock to squeeze the market upwards. 
⁃ Under technical analysis, the price action looks scarily bearish to speculators and chartists are pointing to a further price collapse to $20k, claiming we are in a bear market. The fundamentals do not support this.
⁃ The on-chain picture is strikingly bullish. A supply shock is quietly forming unnoticed by the market. 
⁃ Per Glassnode, the Bitcoin network is onboarding a healthy 32,000 new users per day which is a new high for 2021.
⁃ The newly launched Canadian Purpose Bitcoin ETF has added 4100 BTC to its holdings during this dip, supporting what we see on-chain; long term investors are buying.
⁃ When miners are culled from the network, the surviving miners hold their coins knowing the sell pressure from miners that went out of business has subsided and a price floor is in place. We can see this effect visually as compressions in the Difficulty Ribbon. This has historically been a reliable signal for price bottoms.

Here's a comparison of what Bitcoin did in 2013 and what we currently expect Bitcoin to do in 2021 as we reach new all-time highs sometime in the Fall.

What price do you expect BTC will end 2021 at?

Here’s a well written and researched article from Dragonfly Research on the investment opportunity with ETH. They forecast a ETH market cap of $3.7 trillion to $4.7 trillion in 10 years and a price of $35k to $45k.

I’m starting to write this week’s Coinstack newsletter. What topics would you like me to write about this week?

Here is our Ethereum Forecast for the rest of 2021. You can see how this cycle is quite similar so far to the 2017 ETH cycle.

We expect ETH will 3x from current levels and reach at least $7k by the end of 2021.

Here is our latest Bitcoin Forecast for the rest of 2021, comparing the current Bitcoin cycle to its first cycle in 2013...

We are expecting a "Double Peak" in 2021, reaching new ATHs by October and peaking around Dec 2021-Feb 2022.

This Bitcoin Net Entities Growth from Glassnode shows that we are almost certainly NOT in a bear market -- but rather are in a phase of consolidation and getting ready for another run later this year.
