Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predicted to Break Through US$108,000

 The price of Bitcoin is currently stable at around US$108,000, but crypto analysts are beginning to speculate on how high the largest cryptocurrency could rise in the next market cycle. One of them is Hadley Stern from Marinade Finance, who recently shared his views on the Milkroad podcast. According to him, the market is too fixated on the psychological figure of US$100,000, and it is time for BTC to permanently break through that barrier. Stern estimates that the highest price of Bitcoin in this cycle could reach US$160,000. Hadley Stern believes that the US$160,000 target is a reasonable estimate, compared to other extreme projections that reach US$250,000 to US$1 million. According to him, the crypto market is often stuck at psychological numbers such as US$100,000, similar to the stagnant phase when BTC remained at the US$10,000 level for a long time a few years ago. This occurs because many traders set emotional thresholds when making buy or sell decisions. Therefore, breaki...

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the personal consumption expenditures price index fell by 0.3% after adjusting for inflation. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, the PCE price index excluding food and energy, rose by 0.2%. This figure was slightly higher than expected.

Nike shares remain a buy recommendation by Jefferies despite a difficult quarter

 Jefferies maintains its Buy rating and $115.00 price target for Nike (NYSE:NKE) despite expectations of a challenging fourth-quarter fiscal report. The firm expects Nike's upcoming results to show significant pressure, with revenue projected to decline by double digits and gross margin falling by 400-500 basis points as the company works to address excess inventory.
