Given the Metcalfe model Cowen used, he said the $100,000 level is certainly possible.
According to the hedge fund veteran, Bitcoin has shown great resilience after the FTX exchange crash.
“In theory, when Bitcoin breaks out of the $18,000 falling wedge, there really isn’t much strong support in the $12,000-13,000 area where it started before the big 2020-2021 bull run. However, when the FTX exchange crashed, BTC only traded from $21,000 plummeted to $15,000, and recovered from there. This shows that the market is still in pretty strong shape and maybe BTC has officially bottomed out of the current cycle.”
