As Bitcoin’s price dances around the $100,000 mark, Sean Farrell, Fundstrat's Head of Digital Asset Strategy, remains unfazed by speculation of an overheated crypto market. Speaking on Coinage, Farrell dismissed the idea that the current rally has reached its peak. "I don't think that we are at or super close to a cycle top," he asserted, emphasizing that key market indicators and onchain metrics remain far from danger zones.

This time, he sees a healthier market structure driven by spot demand rather than borrowed capital. "Flows have still been pretty consistent. Spot volumes...continuing to rise on the whole," he added. As speculative fervor returns, Farrell acknowledged the resurgence of legacy tokens like XRP and Cardano. While he expressed some skepticism in the continued rally behind those names, he highlighted enduring strength in stablecoin issuance and ETF inflows, particularly for Ethereum. "ETF flows have been solid...especially compared to Bitcoin ETF flows," he noted, suggesting deepening institutional interest in ETH.

Farrell explained, "The marginal buyer for Ethereum right now is TradFi," attributing the shift to growing ETF inflows and CME futures activity.

While Bitcoin's next leg could be fueled by speculative bets on a potential U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, he couched the likelihood of such an event as extremely difficult to predict.
