Odaily Planet Daily reported that Anthony Pompliano, in an interview with CNBC, stated that the lack of a crazy price surge for Bitcoin by the end of the year could serve as a catalyst to prevent a major crash in the first quarter of next year. He pointed out that given the current significant compression of Bitcoin's volatility, the likelihood of a 70% or 80% drawdown is extremely low.
Anthony Pompliano stated that although Bitcoin has not reached the $250,000 target expected by some investors, it has risen 100% over two years and nearly 300% over three years, continuing to perform strongly in the financial markets. He added that while the reduction in volatility has disappointed holders who value upside potential, it has also provided safety for downside, reducing the likelihood of significant drawdowns. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $87,436, down 7.39% since the beginning of the year. Additionally, Peter Brandt predicts that Bitcoin may drop to $60,000 in the third quarter of 2026, while Fidelity's Global Macro Research Director Jurrien Timmer believes Bitcoin prices could fall to $65,000 in 2026.
