Bitcoin’s lack of ‘crazy’ year-end price means no hard crash in Q1: Pomp

Bitcoin has been a “monster in financial markets” even though it hasn’t hit the most optimistic 2025 price targets, says Anthony Pompliano.

Bitcoin’s lack of an exciting year-end price rally may be the catalyst that prevents a significant crash in the first quarter of next year, according to Bitcoin entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano.
