'Very possible' Bitcoin consolidates for 8 months again: 10x Research

10x Research’s head crypto researcher isn’t ruling out Bitcoin repeating its 2024 price action, where it spent much of the year consolidating after hitting all-time highs early on.

“Very possible,” Markus Thielen told Cointelegraph when asked what the chances of Bitcoin (BTC) repeating a similar market movement to 2024, where it reached an all-time high of $73,679 in March before entering a consolidation phase, swinging within a range of around $20,000 up until Donald Trump was elected as US president in November.

Bitcoin’s current chart signals “market indecision”

Thielen said he had this thought even two months ago, around the time Bitcoin hit its current all-time high of $109,000 on the day of Trump’s inauguration.

Sacks’ VC firm sold $200M+ in crypto, stocks before White House role

A White House memorandum revealed that David Sacks and his venture capital firm sold more than $200 million in cryptocurrency and crypto-related stocks before he assumed his role as the White House AI and crypto czar.
