On the 31st (local time), Cointelegraph, a digital-asset (cryptocurrency) news outlet, cited a Bitget survey saying that 84% of crypto investors predict Bitcoin (BTC) will set a new all-time high after this halving. In particular, 41% of investors in Western Europe expect BTC to top $100,000. In addition, investors in Latin America, East Asia and Southeast Asia reportedly cited the halving as the factor with the greatest impact on BTC’s price. Meanwhile, the survey was conducted among 10,000 Bitget users, with 9,748 respondents.

On the 29th (local time), Cointelegraph, a media outlet specializing in virtual assets (cryptocurrencies), reported that "the Bitcoin (BTC) futures premium has climbed past the neutral benchmark of 10% to 15%." The outlet said, "This suggests demand for long positions is excessive," adding that "the total crypto market capitalization has moved up and down within a narrow ascending channel over the past 10 weeks." It further noted, "This indicates bullish momentum remains even though it has failed to break above the key resistance level of $1.7 trillion," while adding that "if traders rely heavily on the futures market rather than the spot market, there is also a possibility of cascading liquidations."
