"The duo of bitcoin and Ethereum are in price discovery at this time and while a correction is imminent in the short term, the exact timeline is hard to determine. Having breached the $61,000 price mark, bitcoin’s buyers may not stop until the price retests its ATH above $69,000.

Similar sentiment holds for Ethereum considering the strong correlation between both assets.
As the current market trend shows, bitcoin ETFs are arguably the primary driver of the current rally in the price of BTC. In my assessment, I believe the impact of these new assets are not fully priced in yet as further cash inflow will lead to more supply crunch that will further drive price growth. The rate of bitcoin purchase is already higher than supply and with the halving set to compound this crunch, the ongoing rally may not abate until the fourth quarter even despite occasional corrections. By year’s end, I anticipate a peak of $80,000 for this leading cryptocurrency."
