In a blog post on Tuesday, the chief investment officer for the institutional grade Bitcoin ETF issuer wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTwo years ago, it was common for Bitwise clients to allocate ~1% of their portfolio to bitcoin and other crypto assets, an amount they could easily afford to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But he\u2019s noticed<\/a> a big change over the last 24 months:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn today\u2019s environment, it\u2019s a different story.\u00a0We more frequently see 3% allocations. As more of the world wakes up to the massive derisking we\u2019ve seen in bitcoin, I think you\u2019ll see this number rise to 5% and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

ABC\u2019s \u201cShark Tank\u201d investing star Kevin O\u2019Leary followed this exact trajectory to massive profits from his Bitcoin investments. Only he was years ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Leary devoted 3%<\/a> of his portfolio to BTC in 2021. A year later he bumped up<\/a> that balance to 5%.<\/p>\n

Here are five signal factors driving support for Bitcoin\u2019s price growth in 2025.<\/p>\n

1. Bullish BTC Falling Flag Continuation Pattern<\/h2>\n

After correcting from the Jan. 20 historic record high of $109,000, Bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> rallied for 14 days starting on Mar. 10, from $78,500 to $87,450 by Mar. 25 (+12% gain).<\/p>\n

That represents a decisive breakout, confirming the falling flag pattern BTC charted during its correction. This bullish crypto chart pattern often signals the continuation of an uptrend.<\/p>\n

According to Investopedia, these are<\/a> some of the most reliable chart signals traders use in markets like crypto and stocks:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThese patterns are among the most reliable continuation patterns that traders use because they generate a setup for entering an existing trend that is ready to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The pattern is more reliable as a bull signal if the daily trading volume chart matches the price, tracing a descending rhombus shape that looks like a flag falling in the wind.<\/p>\n

In this case, Bitcoin\u2019s volume nicely matched the price\u2019s consolidation channel. So it\u2019s a fairly classic example of this bullish sign.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as Bitcoin\u2019s price moved higher into a more sure-footed recovery, the 10-day through 200-day moving average BTC technical indicators all flipped to a Strong Buy recommendation.<\/p>\n

2. Bitcoin Price Rally on Trump Tariff Pivot<\/h2>\n

In addition to the Bitcoin\u2019s decisive breakout in March from a 50-day falling flag channel within a steep 16-month uptrend, there\u2019s President Donald Trump\u2019s pivot on tariffs in March.<\/p>\n

Markets rallied as the Trump relaxed his stance on tariffing imports. Before that, crypto prices fell along<\/a> with stocks in February over a news cycle heavily focused on<\/a> tariffs and rumors of more taxes.<\/p>\n

But, Bitcoin prices began to recover a few days after Trump suspended tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports. It surged again on Mar. 24 and 25 after reports emerged that<\/a> the White House was about to narrow its tariff agenda significantly.<\/p>\n

Instead of broad industry tariffs on major trading partners, Trump would focus tariffs in a more targeted plan to be levied on countries with the most severe US trade imbalances.<\/p>\n

BTC continued to notch gains on Mar. 26 as Trump confirmed the<\/a> softer tariff stance in an interview:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ll probably be more lenient than reciprocal, because if I was reciprocal, that would be very tough for people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These confluences signal the crypto rout over February was more about global tariff worries than a reversal in Bitcoin\u2019s earthshaking 28-month uptrend since Dec. 2022.<\/p>\n

3. Wall St. Bitcoin ETFs Roar Back to Life<\/h2>\n

Another rather bullish signal for a Bitcoin trend continuation is the decisive return of<\/a> inflows to Bitcoin ETFs over several consecutive days beginning on Mar. 14.<\/p>\n

Flows were heavy<\/a> on St. Patrick\u2019s Day (Mar. 17), with <\/a>a total quarter billion worth of Bitcoin ETF purchases by regulated Wall Street investors. The following day inflows topped another $200 billion.<\/p>\n

Wall St. is more practical and cautious in its BTC trading than the high-conviction Internet cabal of technology futurists, devout political radicals, and laptop capitalists hooked on crypto market ROIs.<\/p>\n

So, the institutional crowd\u2019s return to bagging crypto ETFs with issuers like BlackRock, Fidelity, and VanEck potentially represents another bullish tailwind that will support more Bitcoin price growth in 2025\u2019s next quarter.<\/p>\n

4. Social Sentiment Score Flips Positive<\/h2>\n

In a solid start to crypto\u2019s week, Bitcoin reached as high as $88.5K for the first time in 17 days. Ethereum also jumped above $2,100 for the first time in 14 days. Comments across social media are becoming quite positive, indicating many expect this rally to continue. pic.twitter.com\/3w3ZCs512n<\/a><\/p>\n
