Bitcoin Could Reach $150K Before a Late-Year Pullback

I see credence in the argument that Bitcoin can still run into the $140K–$150K area this year—spot ETF inflows, corporate purchases and institutional interest create a clear short-term bid.

At the same time, I remain cautious: macro risks and a likely late-year shift in monetary policy could trigger the next bear phase after that rally. The move higher may be real but not necessarily durable without broader economic improvement.

Given the split between cautious voices like McClurg and highly bullish figures such as Saylor, my view is pragmatic: expect a probable short-term upside but plan for a pullback and manage risk accordingly.
