Bitcoin is currently changing hands just above $108,000, consolidating after Tuesday\u2019s fresh all-time high. Charles Edwards, founder of the digital-asset hedge fund Capriole Investments, believes that price could be at least 50% higher by November. In his latest market note<\/a>, \u201cSaddle Up,\u201d released on 27 May, the manager argues that a rare confluence of macro, technical and on-chain factors has created \u201cthe most bullish technical setup we could ask for for Bitcoin at all-time highs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin 50% Rally Is \u201cConservative\u201d<\/h2>\n

Edwards first set the stage for the call in late April, when Bitcoin was trading near $93,000. \u201cWe noted the bullish Bitcoin setup and expectation to be \u2018pushing new all-time highs [\u2026] quite soon\u2019,\u201d he recalled. One month later the market has risen 16%, validating that view and, in Edwards\u2019s telling, clearing the decks for the next leg higher.<\/p>\n

Central to the thesis is what Edwards dubs the \u201cHard Asset Era.\u201d A breakout in the Gold-to-S&P 500 ratio above its 200-week moving average signals that investors are again favouring scarce stores of value over equities.<\/p>\n

Historically, such regimes are \u201csticky,\u201d he writes, adding that the ensuing outperformance of gold over stocks has ranged from 150% to 650% in past cycles. \u201cIf you think gold has already rallied a lot, think again,\u201d Edwards said. On that analogue, Bitcoin \u2014 which tends to lag gold by several months \u2014 could be poised for even steeper gains.<\/p>\n

Recent policy changes have underpinned the rotation. Basel III rules elevated gold to Tier-1 reserve status in 2022, forcing banks to back paper positions with physical metal, while last year\u2019s approvals of spot-Bitcoin exchange-traded funds opened institutional flood-gates to the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in early 2025 provided an additional layer of state-level legitimacy. Against the same backdrop, persistent inflation, tariff frictions and the precedent of freezing Russian foreign-exchange reserves have catalysed demand for politically neutral assets.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Technicals And Fundamental<\/h2>\n

From a market-structure standpoint, Bitcoin\u2019s April slide to $75,000 and sharp recovery above $90,000 is described as a text-book \u201cfake-out\u201d \u2014 a failed breakdown that often precedes powerful upside trends. The weekly close reclaim above $90,000 \u201cmarked the start of a new trend,\u201d Edwards contends, making the $104,000 level the first line of defence. \u201cAs long as price is above $104K, this is the most bullish technical setup we could ask for,\u201d he wrote, reducing near-term risk management to a single number.<\/p>\n

Capriole\u2019s machine-learning-driven Bitcoin Macro Index, which blends more than 100 on-chain, macro and equity-market variables, continues to register in \u201cbullish growth.\u201d Apparent demand (production minus dormant supply) has turned positive, US liquidity remains supportive, and Capriole\u2019s new \u201cVolume Summer\u201d metric shows trend-confirming expansion in trading activity. Taken together with the historical three-to-five-month lag between gold breakouts and Bitcoin rallies, the firm argues that \u201ca 50 %-plus rise over the next six months is a conservative target.\u201d<\/p>\n

Policy Wild-Cards<\/p>\n

The clearest threats to the projection lie on the policy front. Edwards highlights a 30- to 60-day window for the United States to strike tariff compromises with China and the European Union; failure could dent risk appetite. He also warns that the flourishing \u201cBitcoin-treasury arbitrage\u201d \u2014 whereby corporates issue low-cost debt to accumulate BTC \u2014 could amplify downside in a future deleveraging, though leverage levels remain manageable for now.<\/p>\n

For the moment, however, the combination of a hard-asset bull cycle, confirmed technical strength and improving fundamentals keeps Capriole \u201cvery optimistic about the mid- to long-term potential for both gold and Bitcoin.\u201d As long as the market holds above that $104,000 weekly pivot, Edwards suggests investors should \u2014 in his own closing words \u2014 \u201csaddle up.\u201d<\/p>\n

At press time, BTC traded at $108,005.<\/p>\n
