What Happened in Crypto Today: Experts Are Revising Bitcoin Predictions Again

Ethereum’s "I told you so" moment…

Remember about three weeks ago when BTC maxis were writing ETH's obituary?

The same holders who were screaming "dump your ETH for BTC" are quite interested in Ethereum's price action.

While Bitcoin's been playing ping-pong between $98K and $103.9K (resistance is real), Ethereum's been quietly proving its critics wrong.

Sure, we're still about $900 shy of ETH's all-time high, but at $3,900, no one's complaining anymore. Well, except maybe those who panic-sold three weeks ago.

It's like they say in crypto - the market loves to prove the loudest voices wrong.

So what's going on? Let's make sense of it all! Here is a quick rundown of the top headlines from the past 24 hours:

Let’s dive in!

Long-Term Bitcoin Holders Just Scored 4x Profits

Bitcoin just wrote another chapter in its wild journey, touching $104,000 and making early investors very happy.

Those who've been holding onto their Bitcoin for the long haul are now walking away with returns four times their initial investment.

That's what CryptoQuant's data is showing through their Long-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio - a fancy way of saying "how much money long-term investors are making when they sell."

So are the whales cashing out their holdings? Read the full story !

Bitcoin Predictions are Here!

Bitcoin recently crossed $100,000 (before falling below 99K), marking a historic moment with a $2 trillion market cap. But what's catching everyone's attention isn't just where Bitcoin is - it's where it might be heading.

ARK Invest, known for its deep dive into Bitcoin analytics, sees $124,000 as the minimum target by year-end. Their math isn't just about numbers - they're looking at something bigger: the possibility of Bitcoin becoming part of U.S. strategic reserves.

Other big names are jumping in with their wild predictions too! Read the full story !

Dogecoin to $0.46 - And Some Say It's Just Getting Started

Dogecoin just jumped 9% to $0.46, making it the top performer among major cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin crossed the $100,000 milestone.

Dogecoin stole the spotlight by outpacing both Bitcoin and Ethereum's recent moves.

The broader crypto market is showing serious strength, hitting $3.8 trillion in total value. Bitcoin still leads the pack with 56% market dominance, but something interesting is happening in the meme coin space.

Mt. Gox Just Moved $2.8B in Bitcoin

Mt. Gox just moved 27,871 Bitcoin worth $2.8 billion to an unknown address.

This isn't their first big move. Just last month, they transferred 32,371 BTC worth $2.2 billion. These transfers are part of their plan to finally repay users who lost their Bitcoin in the infamous 2014 hack.

Usually, when Mt. Gox moves this much Bitcoin, markets get nervous. But something different happened this time - Bitcoin barely flinched. Min Jung from Presto Labs pointed out that the market stayed surprisingly calm, suggesting crypto might be growing up a bit.

But why did they move such a huge amount of money? Is there a major dump incoming? Read the full story !

Here Are Some Meme Coin Winners and Losers!

Lots of meme coins are enjoying BTC’s rally. For example, Gigachad (GIGA) shot up 36% to $0.06555 - but there's already talk about whether it can hold above $0.050, with analysts split on what comes next.

On the flip side, some tokens are having a really rough week. Moo Deng dropped 19.5%, and Fartcoin took an even bigger hit, down 26.5%. The carnage didn't stop there - Fwog and Non-Playable Coin also took significant hits.

But what about other top meme coins? Read the full story !
