SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci says Bitcoin (BTC) is on track to soar more than 200% within 12 months. In a new interview on CNBC Squawk Box, the hedge fund veteran says that the expected continual adoption of Bitcoin will keep driving the value higher and reduce price volatility. “I wish I could understand the price moves myself. Where I’m coming from is a little bit of longer-term as opposed to just the week-to-week or day-to-day price movements. I think the point I’m trying to make is that Bitcoin is on that adoption curve. If you go back to Web…

One widely followed crypto trader is breaking down Bitcoin (BTC) after a 9% crash over the last week. Pseudonymous crypto analyst Rekt Capital tells his 452,800 followers on the social media platform X that BTC’s current re-accumulation phase may fool some traders into thinking it’s a Bitcoin breakdown. “One of the key things to note about Bitcoin’s Re-Accumulation Ranges throughout this cycle is this: Downside wicks below the Range Lows tend to occur to trick investors into a fake breakdown (black circles) before resuming into an uptrend.” Bitcoin is rapidly approaching the halving, a quadrennial event where BTC mining rewards are slashed…

In a new interview on CNBC Squawk Box, Pompliano says he believes Bitcoin could reach at least $100,000 within 12 to 18 months.

There’s always an external event that could occur. But I’d say I don’t see it going below $50,000 at any point. I think we’ve kind of crossed…

Cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen is expressing bearish sentiment on Ethereum (ETH) relative to Bitcoin (BTC) over the short to medium term. In a new video, Cowen tells his 799,000 YouTube subscribers that the Ethereum/Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) pair has further room to fall. “My base case at this point in time is that Ethereum/Bitcoin bottoms this summer, Ethereum/US dollar bleeds a little bit longer and then at some point later this year or early next year the Federal Reserve will turn the money printer back on. And then you will see a bull phase for the Ethereum/Bitcoin valuation. But I don’t think…
