Bitcoin price bottom is in, says Fidelity exec as crypto market exits ‘extreme fear’

Bitcoin ( $62,709.00 ) (BTC) has already hit its price bottom, one of the industry’s top executives believes as BTC price action stays above $40,000.

In a tweet on June 14, Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at U.S. multinational financial services corporation Fidelity Investments, called time on any further Bitcoin ( $62,709.00 ) price dips.

BTC/USD maintained higher levels overnight on Monday after surging through $40,000 resistance. Despite not yet fulfilling traders’ predictions of a $47,000 push, the mood has become broadly positive on the back of fresh high-profile praise from the likes of Elon Musk and Paul Tudor Jones.

For Timmer, the time has come to look higher, not lower, when it comes to charting Bitcoin ( $62,709.00 ) ’s next move.

“In my view, it looks like the bottom is in,” he summarized.

Fidelity has increased its Bitcoin ( $62,709.00 ) activities in recent times, releasing a dedicated analytics platform and even applying to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF). U.S. regulators began scrutinizing the application in late May.

Fear & Greed ditches the emotion

Meanwhile, another aspect of cryptocurrency which is back near 40 is the Crypto Fear & Greed Index — a classic sentiment gauge adding to the bullish mood.

After hitting its lowest in more than a year in recent week, Fear & Greed has rebounded to 38/100 — approaching neutral territory.

The Index uses a basket of sentiment measures to determine whether traders are overly bullish or bearish at a certain price, and therefore whether tokens are oversold or conversely due for a sell-off.
