A number of crypto analysts who have been staunchly bearish for months are starting to change their tune.
Civic CEO Vinny Lingham says he’s now bullish. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Willy Woo is also flipping, saying “bull season is now at 99%.”
What part of – "I'm bullish on Bitcoin if it breaks and holds $6200 for 24-48 hours" is ambiguous? Yes, I'm now bullish on Bitcoin. Do I think we hit $20k in the next month? Absolutely not, but, anything is possible…

In BTC's 10yr trade history, crossing above the 200 day moving average (blue line) for any sizeable time (say 8wks+) has signaled bull season. Even a super conservative trend line support puts us above the 200DMA.

Analyst Josh Rager says if past bull runs are prologue, BTC is on its way to a potential high of $78,500.

Fundstrat co-founder and head of research Tom Lee says he believes new all-time highs are likely by 2020. Morgan Creek Digital’s Anthony Pompliano says Bitcoin is poised to surge 20-50x over the next five years.
And according to The Rhythm Trader, Bitcoin adoption is light years ahead of its pace during the last bull run.

But not everyone is transforming into a Bitcoin and crypto permabull.
In the short term, crypto analyst Nicholas Merten, aka DataDash, expects Bitcoin to retreat to at least one lower level in the months ahead.
Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary says he still believes crypto is crap. And economist Nouriel Roubini is hailing a theory that crypto exchange Bitfinex is behind a renewed BTC pump using the controversial stablecoin Tether.
Important article by @prestonjbyrne suggesting what may be behind the latest BTC bubble. Most likely Bitfinex leading another manipulative pumping of BTC via new Tether issuance https://t.co/HPUzw05VJk
