Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, has projected that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by the end of the year. Edwards attributes this potential surge to increased institutional investment and demand driven by Bitcoin's status as a gold-linked safe haven. He emphasized that if Bitcoin maintains sustained closes above $120,000, combined with bullish seasonal trends, a rapid breakout to $150,000 could occur within weeks. Institutional allocation and gold's safe-haven appeal are seen as key factors fueling this potential rise.
