Bullish On Bitcoin

Cathie Wood cleared her perspective on Bitcoin price prediction. Wood asserted that She is going to hold her Bitcoin forecast of hitting $1 million per coin by 2030.

She believes institutional investors could turn back in accumulating Bitcoin and Ethereum. Once institutional investors take their time off and do analysis on entry levels, they will be confidently buying Bitcoin. Moreover, she highlighted that the crypto market will recover despite the FTX collapse.

Bitcoin and Ethereum prices jumped above $18K and $1.35K on Wednesday in anticipation of a 50 bps rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve. However, the prices slide after Chair Jerome Powell hints at continuing rate hikes and inflationary conditions in the market.
