Michael Saylor Says 'Welcome Back' as Bitcoin Bear Admits: 'I Was Wrong'
Benjamin Cowen, founder of Into The Cryptoverse, admitted his bearish Bitcoin (BTC) call was wrong. Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy (MSTR), responded. Cowen had predicted lower prices, but Bitcoin reached $86,000, driven by spot and perpetual buyers. Glassnode noted increased leverage and options activity. Bitcoin's RSI is at 72.71, indicating strong momentum.
