In the vibrant context of the cryptocurrency market, Steven McClurg – CEO of Canary Capital – has just made an optimistic forecast: the price of Bitcoin could hit $150,000 as early as this year.

⚠️ However, experts also warn of the risk of a “bull trap” after prices peak and then correct, reminding investors to manage risk closely.
👉 The question arises: Will Bitcoin actually hit $150K this year? Or will there be more strong fluctuations before moving forward? @BTCFTW @Ethereum
