Bitcoin has fallen sharply over the last 24 hours, raising fears of a price crash, even as insiders ... More issued huge bitcoin price predictions.
'Bitcoin deserves close attention. It has just swept the nearest liquidity zone around $115,700–116,100 and is now entering an important range—the first one from which a reversal and upward continuation could occur," analysts with crypto platform B2BInPay said in emailed comments.
"If bitcoin breaks through its all-time high, it could open the path toward $127,700. The second scenario possible is that If a deeper correction occurs and bitcoin falls below $98,300, the next major support zone will be between $89,500 and $85,400. But it would require a sharp 17% decline to truly validate a bearish trend, which is too difficult in the current reality."
The bitcoin price dip this week has been at least partially attributed to Galaxy Digital, the crypto financial services company led by billionaire Mike Novogratz, sending around 10,000 bitcoin worth $1.2 billion to exchanges, according to blockchain sleuths.
Despite his company facilitating a potentially huge bitcoin sale, Novogratz remains bullish on bitcoin, predicting the price will continue to climb provided U.S. president Donald Trump keeps pushing for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
"We're in price discovery in a lot of these things, and $150,000 seems to me a decent target,' Novogratz told CNBC.
Meanwhile, veteran crypto investor Dan Tapiero, the founder of crypto growth equity funds 10T and 1RoundTable Partners, has launched a new $500 million fund called 50T, consolidating the earlier funds and 5x-ing his previous crypto market prediction from $10 trillion over the next decade to $50 trillion.

The bitcoin price has soared over the last year, sparking a flurry of bullish bitcoin price ... More predictions.
Tapiero puts the current crypto ecosystem value, including cryptocurrencies and the equity value of crypto companies, at $5 trillion already.
"50T is a natural evolution from our original thesis in 2020 when we launched 10T with the belief that the digital asset ecosystem would grow from $300 billion to $10 trillion in 10 years," Tapiero said in a press release, pointing to Circle's public market debut and Coinbase's acquisition of derivatives exchange Deribit as validation of the thesis that "all value will eventually move on-chain" and that the market's growth has 'far exceed[ed] our initial timeline.'
Tapiero's investments in Deribit, USDC-issuer Circle and trading platform eToro have all paid off recently.
Tapiero also credited policy and regulatory improvements has likely to push the combined crypto market and crypto companies higher in the next few years, telling The Block there have been "significant changes in Washington DC."

US migrant raids spark boom for private detention providers
Donald Trump's promise to carry out the largest deportation operation in US history has appalled some Americans. But others are cashing in on the boom in demand for private detention centers. Migrants captured by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents need to be temporarily housed in places like the facility being readied in California City, prior to deportation. "When you talk to the majority of residents here, they have a favorable perspective on it," said Marquette Hawkins, mayor of the hardscrabble settlement of 15,000 people, 100 miles (160 kilometres) north of Los Angeles. "They look at the economic impact, right?" California City is to be home to a sprawling detention center that will be operated by CoreCivic, one of the largest companies in the private detention sector. The company, which declined AFP requests for an interview, says the facility would generate around 500 jobs, and funnel $2 million in tax revenue to the city. "Many of our residents have already been hired out there to work in that facility," Hawkins told AFP. "Any revenue source that is going to assist the town in rebuilding itself, rebranding itself, is going to be seen as a plus," he said. - Boom - Trump's ramped-up immigration arrests, like those that provoked protests in Los Angeles, saw a record 60,000 people in detention in June, according to ICE figures. Those same figures show the vast majority have no conviction, despite the president's election campaign promises to go after hardened criminals. More than 80 percent of detainees are in facilities run by the private sector, according to the TRAC project at Syracuse University. And with Washington's directive to triple the number of daily arrests -- and $45 billion earmarked for new detention centers -- the sector is looking at an unprecedented boom. "Never in our 42-year company history have we had so much activity and demand for our services as we are seeing right now," Damon Hininger, executive director of CoreCivic, said in a May call with investors. When Trump took office in January, some 107 centers were operating. The number now hovers around 200. For Democratic politicians, this proliferation is intentional. "Private prison companies are profiting from human suffering, and Republicans are allowing them to get away with it," Congresswoman Norma Torres told reporters outside a detention center in the southern California city of Adelanto. At the start of the year, there were three people detained there; there are now hundreds, each one of them attracting a daily stipend of taxpayer cash for the operator. Torres was refused permission to visit the facility, run by the privately owned GEO Group, because she had not given seven days' notice, she said. "Denying members of Congress access to private detention facilities like Adelanto isn't just disrespectful, it is dangerous, it is illegal, and it is a desperate attempt to hide the abuse happening behind these walls," she said. "We've heard the horrifying stories of detainees being violently arrested, denied basic medical care, isolated for days, and left injured without treatment," she added. Kristen Hunsberger, a staff attorney at the Law Center for Immigrant Advocates, said one client complained of having to wait "six or seven hours to get clean water." It is "not sanitary and certainly not... in compliance with just basic human rights." Hunsberger, who spends hours on the road going from one center to another to locate her clients, says many have been denied access to legal counsel, a constitutional right in the United States. Both GEO and ICE have denied allegations of mistreatment at the detention centers. "Claims there is overcrowding or subprime conditions in ICE facilities are categorically FALSE," said Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. "All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment and have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers." - 'Strategy' - But some relatives of detainees tell a different story. Alejandra Morales, an American citizen, said her undocumented husband was detained incommunicado for five days in Los Angeles before being transferred to Adelanto. In the Los Angeles facility, "they don't even let them brush their teeth, they don't let them bathe, nothing. They have them all sleeping on the floor, in a cell, all together," she said. Hunsberger said that for detainees and their relatives, the treatment appears to be deliberate. "They're starting to feel that this is a strategy to wear people down, to have them in these inhumane conditions, and then pressure them to sign something where they could then agree to being deported," she said. pr/hg/ksb

SpaceX launches 28 Starlink satellites days after service outage
July 26 (UPI) -- SpaceX early Saturday launched another 28 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Florida, days after a short service outage hit the space-based internet provider. The Falcon 9 lifted off at 5:01 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Pad 40. The first-stage booster launched for the 22nd time, including Crew-6 and 17 previous Starlink missions. About 8 minutes after liftoff, the booster landed on "A Shortfall of Gravitas" drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. It was the 119th touchdown on the droneship and the 480th to date for SpaceX in Florida and California. This year, it was the 91st Falcon 9 launch, according to SpaceFlight Now. There are more than 8,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, according to astronomer Jonathan McDowell. On Thursday, Starlink users reported a rare full network outage of internet service. It began at 4 p.m. About 2 1/2 hours later, SpaceX announced most service had been restored. Then, 1 1/2 hours later, full service was back, Starlink reported. "The outage was due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network," Michael Nicholls, vice president of Starlink Engineering at SpaceX wrote on X. "We apologize for the temporary disruption in our service; we are deeply committed to providing a highly reliable network, and will fully root cause this issue and ensure it does not occur again." There are more than 6 million Starlink customers worldwide, including 2 million in the United States after debuting in 2021. The next SpaceX launch is scheduled for 8:55 p.m. PDT Saturday from Vandenbrug Space Force Station's Pad 4E in California. An additional 24 Starlink satellites are scheduled for deployment.
