JPMorgan Predicts Bitcoin Could Hit $170K if Current Strategy Remains Steady

Market Influencers: JPMorgan highlights that the crypto market, particularly Bitcoin, may be significantly influenced by the company Strategy, which holds 650,000 BTC and has a stable mNAV of 1.13, potentially leading to a price target of $170,000 if it does not sell any bitcoins.

MSCI Decision Impact: The upcoming MSCI decision on whether to exclude Strategy from its indices could result in substantial capital outflows, estimated between $2.8 billion and $8.8 billion, affecting both Strategy's stock and Bitcoin's price.

Production Cost Threshold: Bitcoin's production cost is now pegged at $90,000, which serves as a psychological barrier; falling below this level could pressure miners, particularly those with high energy costs, to liquidate their holdings.

Market Volatility: The crypto market remains fragile, with analysts noting that Bitcoin's rejection of the $93,500 level could undermine bullish sentiments, emphasizing that euphoria alone is insufficient to sustain price increases.
