Bitcoin has ‘greater than 50% chance’ of $150K before bear hits: Exec

Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg’s bear market warning comes as other industry executives don’t expect a sharper downturn for Bitcoin anytime soon.

Bitcoin may have no more than 27% upside left in this cycle before entering a downtrend, according to Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg.
