I’m confused. Which rumors should I trust more? Those saying US government will liquidate loads of $BTC soon and the price will fall OR those saying BTC price will raise even higher than today after the same US government fix some regulations. The one contradicts the other. If they fix the regulations, then BTC price should be fine, but if its price is fine, why bother selling it?

JPMorgan analysts now expect bullish in Bitcoin

At JPMorgan, one of the world's largest investment banks, analysts stated that they expect increases in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for 2025. In their latest reports, experts put forward a total of 5 reasons for the increases in the coming period.

Morgan Stanley effect: As it is known, Morgan Stanley gave investment advisors, also known as "wire house", "permission to recommend Bitcoin" in the past months. It was stated that these consultants, who have the ability to reach crowds and small investors, will also have the effect of increasing the price.

Mt. Gox, FTX, Genesis, German government: In the report, Genesis and Mt, which put great pressure on the price of Bitcoin in the summer.
