The crypto market has been on fire recently, and Bitcoin — the king of all cryptocurrencies — is showing some wild price movements. Many people are wondering, "Why is Bitcoin going up and down so much?" and more importantly, "Can Bitcoin still break its all-time high this year?" Here's the truth: Bitcoin's price doesn't just move randomly. There are powerful forces behind every pump and dump. Let’s dive into the real reasons why Bitcoin is dancing between red and green candles right now: ✅ Reason #1: Bitcoin Halving Effect In April 2024, Bitcoin experienced its fourth "Halving Event" —an event that happens every four years, where the reward for mining Bitcoin is cut in half. Historically, Bitcoin's price always pumps hard after halving, but not immediately. If you check the 2017 and 2021 bull runs, Bitcoin started making massive moves 6-12 months after the halving. And guess what? We're exactly in that phase right now. ✅ Reason #2: Bitcoin ETFs Are Here! In 2024, the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs changed the game completely. Big institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity are now buying Bitcoin like crazy. This increased demand, but the supply is limited due to halving — Basic Economics: Less Supply + High Demand = Price Explosion. ✅ Reason #3: Whales Manipulation & Market Sentiment Bitcoin whales (big investors) are playing their usual game — pumping the price to liquidate short traders and then dumping to shake out weak hands. This is why the market is super volatile right now. But these moves are just temporary. The real bull run hasn't even started yet. 🎯 Will Bitcoin Hit a New All-Time High in 2025? The answer is YES. Bitcoin’s previous ATH was $69,000 in 2021. But this time, with institutional adoption, ETFs, and the post-halving supply shock, experts believe Bitcoin could break $100K or even reach $150K-$200K by the end of this year. 🔥 My Prediction: Short-Term: Bitcoin will keep moving up and down between $60K-$70K. Mid-Term (Q3 2025): A major breakout above $100K. End of 2025: Bitcoin hitting between $150K-$200K. 📌 Final Thoughts Bitcoin is not just a coin; it's a revolution in the financial world. The current volatility is normal, and smart investors are accumulating while others are panicking. Remember, the biggest profits are made during uncertain times. ⚡️ Follow @Ceo_crypto25 for more alpha drops and Bitcoin updates. 🚀 #Bitcoin2025 #CryptoBullRun

The past few days have seen Bitcoin (BTC) struggling to reclaim key support levels. The dwindling Bitcoin prices have raised concerns among investors, and several analysts are speculating about market manipulation by billionaires. In an X post , David Wolfe, a crypto trader, detailed how billionaires are manipulating the market for their gains. He posted a video about billionaire Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, who promised to fire any of his traders buying Bitcoin. Jamie called Bitcoin a “fraud” and a “bubble” on September 12, 2017, during his appearance at the Delivering Alpha conference. The billionaire’s speech greatly impacted the market, leading to a 24% decline in BTC’s price at the time. This initial comment marked the beginning of his highly publicized skepticism toward Bitcoin. Shockingly, Jamie reportedly turned out to be the largest buyer of Bitcoin that weekend. This purchase implied Jamie manipulated the market to accumulate Bitcoin at lower prices. The idea is that as prices climb higher, he would sell his BTC stash to accumulate huge profits. Wolfe pointed out that billionaires are currently manipulating the price of Bitcoin in almost similar ways. “How billionaires manipulate crypto (and almost every other market). This is happening in crypto now,” says Wolfe. He added that some billionaires plan to drive BTC towards the $60,000 range to buy it all up. According to Wolfe, the main aim is to seize control of Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy stock. Meanwhile, Saylor remains a strong BTC proponent. As highlighted in our previous article, Saylor announced plans to raise $2 billion through convertible notes to purchase more BTC. Saylor has also encouraged tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft to use Bitcoin to preserve cash reserves. Wolfe’s statement has sparked mixed reactions from the crypto community. While some agree with him, others disagree that market manipulation is a myth. The price of BTC dropped drastically in February, trading as low as $79,000 on February 28. The price soon increased in the first week of March after President Donald Trump released a crypto reserve executive order. This rally only lasted a while, and the price of BTC soon dropped below $80,000 again. As noted in our earlier post, the price drop comes as Japan’s yen strengthens alongside rising government bond yields. At the moment, BTC has jumped above this mark, trading at $82,433 following a 0.86% increase in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin traded as high as $83,479 the day before dropping to current levels. However, the trading volume has decreased by 20.9% to $47.1 billion, suggesting investors’ dwindling interest. Now that the yen rally has faded, the market anticipates a renewed risk-on sentiment that would benefit Bitcoin.

Etherlink has deployed its third protocol upgrade, Calypso, on mainnet to bring a massive performance boost to the Tezos layer 2 network. The Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible layer 2 solution built on Tezos ( XTZ ) announced the Calypso upgrade was live on the mainnet on March 12, coming a few weeks after the EVM-compatible L2 deployed on testnet. The road to mainnet included a governance vote by Tezos bakers, key ecosystem components that work alongside Tezos nodes. Following approval for the mainnet launch, Calypso has successfully deployed to bring improvements such as enhanced network speed, resilience, and efficiency to developers of decentralized applications. Deployment also means faster XTZ withdrawals from Etherlink to Tezos. Etherlink’s non-custodial platform, powered by the Tezos smart rollup technology, allows for frictionless integration of dApps and supports Ethereum ecosystem tools such as wallets and indexers. With its latest upgrade going live on mainnet, its performance could see up to a 30x boost — significant numbers in the world of decentralized finance and exchanges. Calypso also means improved smart contract storage and governance updates. It lays the foundation for improvements to non-custodial and trustless token bridging. As it stands, users can bridge the native Tezos token tez from the layer 1 chain to Etherlink and back. Bridging XTZ from Etherlink to Tezos L1 is called withdrawing, while bridging XTZ from the layer 1 chain to the Etherlink network is called depositing. In both cases, XTZ is the native token on both chains. “Moving tez from Etherlink to Tezos L1 currently can feel like waiting in traffic. Calypso introduces a new precompiled contract entrypoint, which lays the groundwork for much faster withdrawals,” Tezos said in February ahead of this mainnet rollout. Etherlink introduced its alpha testnet in 2023 and beta in early 2024, with key roadmap milestones including the integration of oracle price feeds, the LayerZero bridge, and a decentralized sequencer. Meanwhile, Tezos recently deployed its 17th upgrade with the activation of Quebec , which introduced faster transactions, rolled out improved staking mechanics and bolstered token issuance.
