Investor Brian Kelly warns Bitcoin (BTC) may soon suffer a significant market correction after soaring into the $60,000 range. In a new interview on CNBC’s Fast Money, the founder and CEO of digital asset investment firm BKCM says Bitcoin could decline to around $43,000, a 30% drop from its current value. “This is an asset that is still extremely volatile. If it pulled back 25% or 30% wouldn’t surprise me at all, but long run I still think we go to new highs.” Kelly believes that if Bitcoin corrects, people may funnel money they earned from the crypto king’s recent rally and pour it into other digital assets, which could ignite massive rallies for several altcoin projects. “I do think there could be a rotation trade coming though, because we had a lot of excitement about Solana, and it ran into a little bit of headway. If [Wednesday] was this short-term top at $64,000 for Bitcoin, what typically happens in a bull cycle is all that money that was...

In a situation fairly uncommon for the crypto market, there has been little to no uncertainty as to the mid-term trajectory of Bitcoin (BTC).  Generally, the prevailing sentiment has been that the world’s foremost cryptocurrency will be slowly rallying over the course of several months and that BTC will – at least one point – enter a parabolic rise before the spring is out. So far, these predictions, largely driven by the halving event  – due in slightly less than two months – have proven correct, and Bitcoin has spent much of 2024 – and much of the final quarter of 2023 – rallying.

During Day 15 of the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) v. Craig Wright trial in the UK High Court of Justice, new evidence again overshadowed the actual court proceedings. As the world focused on reading hundreds of never-before-seen emails written by the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Craig Wright returned to the stand for yet another day of testimony. Although he had some interesting things to say, most of the world focused on the information contained in old emails between Satoshi Nakamoto and early Bitcoin developers Martti Malmi and Adam Back. For context, COPA is asking London’s supreme court to enjoin Wright from asserting authorship and copyright over Bitcoin’s whitepaper. Alliance members want to prevent the Australian entrepreneur from continuing his multi-year litigation campaign against Bitcoin educators and Core developers.  And as the high-stakes lawsuit has proceeded, new evidence from the earliest days of Bitcoin has reached public view for the first time.
