Analyst: Bitcoin won’t fall below $100K this cycle

BitQuant says bulls are safe and a $145K target remains.

  • [Prediction]: BTC will not touch $100K in this cycle.

  • [Upside target]: Analyst sets $145K as the next top.

  • [Drawdown]: Current dip to $114,500 filled a CME futures gap.

“Bitcoin isn’t going below $100K, not in this cycle. Doesn’t matter the news, the Fed, or inflation.”

Bitcoin traders watch Trump’s Fed pick

Markets expect a rate cut in September, but Bitcoin pricing depends on Trump’s nominee.

  • [Policy shift]: Fed is expected to cut rates Sept. 17.

  • [Nomination factor]: Trump is reviewing candidates to replace Jerome Powell.

  • [Investor view]: A more dovish Fed chair could drive Bitcoin higher.

“This would start to get priced in once Trump announces his nominee to replace Powell.”
