The Bitcoin Rainbow Chart prediction suggests the cryptocurrency could trade between $99,143 and $1.16 million by July 1, 2026, depending on which valuation band Bitcoin ($BTC) occupies within the model. With Bitcoin trading at round $64,500 on June 14, the long-term valuation model places $BTC below even the lowest projected Rainbow Chart level for July 2026. Rather than forecasting an exact price target, the chart uses a logarithmic growth curve to determine whether Bitcoin is historically undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued. According to the model, the lowest ‘Fire Sale!’ band sits at $99,143 and represents extreme undervaluation. The ‘BUY!’ band…

The closure of crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX is prompting fresh questions about whether the industry is entering a new phase of consolidation, as analysts point to market-share concentration and rising regulatory costs squeezing smaller platforms. While BitMEX helped pioneer perpetual swaps that became a cornerstone of digital asset derivatives trading, its daily Bitcoin futures volume began declining around May 2021 and never recovered to its 2020 daily peak of between $1 billion and $5 billion, according to data from CryptoQuant. Restructuring adviser Roshan Dharia told Cointelegraph the exchange’s demise reflects structural pressures facing mid-sized centralized exchanges, where liquidity has increasingly…

In the latest episode of All Things Markets, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci and Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz predicted that the flagship cryptocurrency is poised to reclaim the $70,000 threshold by the end of July 2026. Both investors believe that macroeconomic pressures and upcoming regulatory milestones will be powerful catalysts for a price reversal. “Do you think Bitcoin can reclaim 70k by the end of July? I’ll go first and say that it will,” Scaramucci stated. “I just think because it’s burnt out and the sentiment is so negative that any incremental buying will lift it through 70.” Mike…
