Crypto could rise sharply because Bitcoin has strong quarterly momentum, reduced sell liquidity, potential dovish macro conditions, institutional inflows, tokenization growth, and expanding digital-asset accumulation. A short-term dip or midterm-election correction remains possible.

00:00 the next 12 to 18 months, all of the DATs, not just Bitmine, are going to really ramp up their purchases of cryptos. Bitcoin is really gaining momentum. Crypto is coiling up for its next leg higher. A mega altcoin season is looming. My name is Aaron. This is Altcoin Daily. You subscribe for daily videos keeping you informed on everything crypto. Make sure that you watch today's whole video.
00:27 I have so much to share with you in the next 8 to 10 minutes. I can't believe how few people realize the momentum that Bitcoin and crypto is gaining and that Bitcoin and crypto just locked in. Take a look at Bitcoin closing its September candle. This is the highest monthly close in 9 months. Bitcoin's highest close since January of 2026. Taking a look at the monthly candles for July, August, and September.
01:01 This is Bitcoin's best Q3 in 9 years since 2017. So many people were bearish over these last three months, yet Bitcoin has risen in a big way. Smash the like button if you still believe in the promise of Bitcoin and crypto. And now that we understand where we came from, let's talk about what could come next. Now the setup gets interesting. Inflation has been cooling.
01:31 What if it keeps cooling? Growth has been accelerating. What if it keeps accelerating? What if Trump ends the Iran war? What if yields pull back? What if the Fed turns dovish? Obviously, all of these happening would be a dream scenario. But what happens if even just a few of these hit? And it is now becoming more and more likely that a few of these will hit.
01:56 Big reversal as odds that the Federal Reserve hikes interest rates at the next meeting plummet. The Fed is turning dovish and crypto's quantum threat is being neutralized by tech companies like BTQ. >> Quantum technology company BTQ now bringing quantum resistant security to digital payments. The company announcing a new agreement to protect a stable coin wallet ecosystem serving roughly 200 million users.
02:28 The network is designed to help protect digital money from future quantum enabled attacks. This is amazing news from BTQ. I wish more people know about this. The Quantum issue is getting solved. I'm going to leave links to BTQ below. They are an altcoin daily channel partner. We as a quantum encryption company want to make sure that um the longevity of the devices and networks that we use in our everyday life are protected um in in a quantum world.
03:00 Essentially, >> this is Bitcoin's Q3 data. As you can see, not since 2017 have we had such a strong Q3, the best Q3 for Bitcoin in 9 years. Meaning in no uncertain terms, crypto is back. And this is what the quarterly candle looks like on a line chart. And if we zoom out, it is actually very clear to see. The quarterly chart for Bitcoin shows how perfect the cycle bottom was.
03:31 And you can see a similar structural pattern for the 2022 bottom. I am personally incredibly bullish looking at this chart. Again, I don't think most people are bullish on crypto today. So, crypto in Q4, it's going to surprise a lot of people. Again, not that there can't be a dip in the short term or it's not going to be a dip a month from now, but I think Bitcoin wants to pop higher.
03:58 And according to Glass Node, that is what the data shows as well. Amazing. The sell wall over Bitcoin has disappeared. Buyers took out the 85K wall yesterday after almost a week of failed tests, the rest of the sell orders seem to have been removed. So, what this all means is with reduced ask liquidity above, this should allow prices to move up faster.
04:32 So, we're probably going to see a pop before we see any sort of dip. 90k Bitcoin is in sight and then 100K by end of year. Breaking news. Global investment bank City and Cityroup City now raises its one-year Bitcoin forecast from 82,000 to 113,000. They also raised their Ethereum target from 2240 which it is above right now to 3,028. The targets represent increases for Bitcoin and ETH around 35% and 12% respectively based on today's current prices.
05:12 One of the big reasons why Croup is revising its forecast to be more bullish. City expects slower but stickier inflows into products like the crypto ETFs as advisors and brokerages continue to sell and favor gradual increases in Bitcoin allocations. They are forecasting 5 billion of inflows over the next 12 months. So they realize that Wall Street is going to continue to sell to their trillions of dollars of wealth clients.
05:45 Get a little Bitcoin, get a little Ethereum, get a little crypto. They know that's going to happen. US Treasury just bought back 6 billion of its own debt. This is bullish for Bitcoin. It seems like only our audience and a select few true crypto believers see the way the future is heading. It's not Altcoin Daily saying we're at a beginning of a super cycle.
06:12 It is the CEO of Robin Hood, Vlad Tennv, saying tokenization crypto, we are at the beginning of a super cycle and it's going to take over the entire financial industry. Guys, please smash the like button and share this clip with everybody. You know, this will convince people. >> Tokenization, we're at the beginning of a super cycle and it's going to take over the entire financial system.
06:40 So, taking a look at Bitcoin's historical chart, Bitcoin has traded inside this rising channel for close to 10 years. However, you can see it's been a while since we traded above the channel's mid level. We kind of topped out there last cycle. However, thinking ahead with the US soon having to print its way out of a debt crisis, I wouldn't be surprised if we get back to this upper range this time around.
07:10 buckle up. While Bitcoin had its best Q3 in nine years, Ethereum had its best Q3 in ETH history and people say crypto is dead. I think we can safely say that Bitcoin maxis were wrong. It is more than just Bitcoin getting valued. And because we see that crypto at large via tokenization, real world assets all getting adopted, Bitcoin dominance could really flush down like we've seen plenty of times before.
07:39 This could happen soon. And I would expect a mega alt season after that. I mean, you'd be a fool not to be bullish on certain quality altcoin projects. One of the most bullish charts in crypto right now. 35.7% plus of all Ethereum is now staked. 43.6 million Ethereum locked in staking. The staking rate has climbed almost relentlessly through 2026. More than 1 in three ETH is now securing the network.
08:11 And this would be huge for Ethereum if true. Tom Lee is now suggesting that his company doesn't want only 5% of Ethereum anymore. They want closer to 10%. and they think all DATs are going to accumulate 15% this cycle. You know, Wall Street is listening closely when Tom Lee says this. >> Bitmine now holds close to 5% of Ethereum's total supply. Talk to us about your strategy for accumulation and the business moving forward.
08:43 >> Yeah, we we just crossed over 6 million ETH. It took us 15 months. Um, most of it happened in the middle of a bare market. So, I think it's a pretty substantial accomplishment given crypto's basically been in a winter. Um, but I think the next 12 to 18 months, all of the DATs, not just Bitmine, are going to really ramp up their purchases of crypto.
09:08 First of all, I think the cryptos that have debts are going to be the best performing because these debts essentially buy the crypto and take out supply. The Ethereum debts own a total of 7% of the supply right now. That's more than Bitcoin debts or the Salana debts. And I could probably see that getting to 15% in this bull cycle. And yet, Bitcoin has crashed shortly before or after every US midterm election in history.
09:36 Now, hey, if it rallies up high into midterms, I would expect a flush out. If you take a look at this historical chart, you will see that every crash hasn't always been incredibly bearish. I mean, these two crashes here were capitulation bearish. This one did seem to mark the end of the bare market into the bull. However, this crash was in a new bull market.
09:59 So, if and when we see a midterm crash this year, let's hope it's more like round 2010. October is here, ladies and gentlemen. Make sure you follow us on Twitter. We just hit 2.6 million. Make sure you subscribe to us on YouTube. It is turning in to a great October already. How high is Bitcoin going to be next week? I think we might see a breakout sooner rather than later.
