The Bitcoin recent price volatility, including a crash below $50,000 last month, has significantly slowed down the momentum of the bull run many analysts are anticipating. Despite the price lull, a certain crypto analyst believes that the Bitcoin bull run is still on track, predicting a sharp rise to over $100,000 once current price corrections stabilize.
