Overview

• Bitcoin is around €95,586 (about $112,568) with losses of roughly 0.36% over 24 hours and 3.94% over seven days, though it shows a modest monthly gain.
• A sharp downswing earlier in the week triggered about $1.5 billion in liquidations across more than 400,000 accounts, with Ether dropping about 9% and Coinbase shares slipping premarket.
• Institutional demand tied to spot‑Bitcoin ETFs and a supportive U.S. policy tone are cited as key forces behind this year’s rally and a broader, structural repricing narrative.
• Analysts outline bullish scenarios for the coming months, with projections ranging from $150,000 to as high as $300,000–$400,000 by 2026 under conditions of continued institutional and potential government buying.
• Advisers warn that 20–30% pullbacks remain likely and recommend limited exposure—often 3–5% or up to 3–10% of a diversified portfolio—while noting that Ethereum, Solana, Chainlink and Polygon could benefit if flows widen beyond Bitcoin.
