Why the $140,000 Bitcoin Target Isn’t as Easy as It Sounds Actionable Market Insights Why this report matters Bitcoin has delivered an impressive rally this year, but momentum may be fading just as the calendar turns to its weakest stretch. Behind the headlines of ETF inflows and bullish price targets lies a more nuanced reality: capital appears to be peaking, not accelerating.
